    "content": "Towards this end, the Ministry aims to ensure:- 1. Catchment areas are adequately protected. I urge hon. Members to refer themselves to Section 42 of the Environment Management and Co-ordination Act which spells out exactly what the Ministry is expected to do in respect of water catchment areas. 2. Environmental issues are well co-ordinated and funded. 3. Issues of desertification and climate change effects are thoroughly addressed. 4. Ministry staff get the necessary skills to respond to emerging environmental challenges and give the required awareness to the public and other stakeholders. 5. National Environmental Authority (NEMA) formulates the necessary environmental regulations and guidelines and together with stakeholders enforce them. 6. Department of Mines and Geology provides the requisite information to enable investments in the mining sector. My Ministry will implement these measures through four main departments and one parastatal. These departments are General Administration and Planning; Mines and Geology Department; Survey and Remote Sensing Department; Kenya Meteorological Department and the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA)."
