    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) which is one of the principal agencies working in this Ministry has done substantial work. However, we were disturbed, as a Committee, to note that the revenue in the form of Appropriation-in-Aid collected by the NEMA has dropped from Kshs170 million to about Kshs30 million because of Government’s desire to respond to pressure. The Government has reduced the penalty charged on people who destroy the environment. I do not understand why the Government is requesting for money from the Treasury, when the other monies that NEMA could secure have been reduced deliberately by its policies. The Minister has the resolve to counter-check this and do something. Let us give the NEMA budgetary support. We should facilitate it to collect money in the form of Appropriation-in-Aid. This has been reduced deliberately by Government policies."
