    "content": "solid waste that has been pending in the various estates in the City of Nairobi. We have not completed that undertaking. We are still ongoing. The other achievement is development and gazettement of regulations and standards. For instance, we have already issued guidelines about wetlands. We are now gathering information on wetlands, which will then be gazetted, so that the law can then be applied. Before then, whether there are demonstrations or not, there is nothing we can do until the law is available to facilitate that action. We have also done the publication of the Atlas of our changed environment. I believe that the Atlas itself should be available to Members of the Departmental Committee and all the hon. Members of this House. It is our duty to also publish what we call “State of the Environment Report”. We also deal with development of the Mining and Minerals Act, 2009, which should come before this House before the end of this calendar year. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also do maize and wheat focus. The estimation of food in the country is done by us. The mapping of Mau Forest and other water towers is what we have been doing. We have been undertaking livestock survey in Marsabit, Laikipia and Narok Districts. We have undertaken installation of ten hydrometric stations in Nzoia and Tana catchments, as well as installation of earth FM stations for vulnerable communities. We have also undertaken installation of a tide gauge for Tsunami early warning at the Coast, of course, after inaugurating the National Environmental Education and Awareness Institute initiative, which is an on-going exercise. We find it very important that information is spread throughout the country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I now turn to the activities that my Ministry proposes to fund in the current financial year, starting with the provision made under Sub-Vote 210, General Administration and Planning. Through the Department of General Administration and Planning, my Ministry provides administrative support and co- ordination services to all other technical and service departments, including the parastatals within the Ministry. To enable me finance these support services and meet the personnel costs for the staff involved, I am requesting this honourable House to approve a gross allocation of Kshs345,646,962 under the Ministry’s Recurrent Vote, of which Kshs323,817,546, Kshs10,503,000 and Kshs11,326,416 will be spent under Heads 670, 749 and 885, respectively. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Head 698 Under Development Vote, my Ministry has been preparing the modalities for the implementation of Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project Phase II whose proposed gross expenditure is Kshs552,853,000 from the World Bank and the remainder from the Kenya Government."
