    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would have liked to say more, particularly about the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA). It can be a highly efficient organization. It has very qualified but very few people. We need more people. It is quite true that we do not have enough staff in the districts and yet that is where the services of NEMA and this Ministry are required much more than elsewhere. I want to appreciate the interventions that hon. Members have brought into this debate regarding the lack of resources, particularly money. We need more to employ inspectors, enforcement officers and to educate. Maybe what we have done so far; to incorporate environmental issues into the curriculum together with the Ministry of Education--- That, obviously, is not enough but it will help. Therefore, I want to say that we appreciate this and everyday is a new day. Every day is a challenge! There are a lot of challenges but we can also turn these challenges into opportunities. Many people did not believe that we can clean Nairobi River and yet we are just about there because there is determination; not only on the part of Mr. Michuki but all the staff I have. All of them are dedicated but they need more resources and hopefully, we shall contribute to that welfare for which we are charged as I read in my introductory remarks about the duties that are imposed on us."
