    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1) to seek a Statement from the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding fishing activities in Lake Nakuru National Park that led to the shooting of four young men at Barut Area of Nakuru West. In this Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain what actions have been taken by the national Government and county government to implement recommendations made by the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) that established the presence of heavy arsenic metals such as lead, mercury, copper, zinc in fish and water sample collected in Lake Nakuru, which were found to cause health hazard like brain cancer. (2) Explain measures and strategies the National Government and county government have taken to ensure that fish from Lake Nakuru, which is being sold in Nakuru Town, Naivasha, Nairobi, Kericho, Bomet and Kisumu, is fit for human consumption. (3) Explain the circumstances that led to the shooting of four youth from neighbouring areas of Mwariki and Barut who were seriously injured as they were found fishing in Lake Nakuru. This happened after a similar case where a fisherman who was found fishing was arrested and taken to the deep end of the lake, drowned and mercilessly left to die."
