The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining only dwelt on a specific area of Kargi. The issue was on Northern Kenya. I have an issue of the same nature in my constituency where wells were drilled. If you listened to him when he reported to this House, these things happened in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, the environmental impact assessments were done in the year 2000 and 2021. This Committee should have gone into detail about every region in Northern Kenya where wells were drilled, so that they come out with a comprehensive report on what happened. Our people live in fear. There is so much panic on this issue. People already know that there is a problem of cancer in the area. When this allegation on toxic wastes which were dumped in those areas came up, it brought up more fear and panic in northern region. The Chairman should go back and get a comprehensive report on this issue, so that we address it once and for all."
