    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we know that, the people did not participate in alienating that land to the KPS and they took it, the people are now saying your activities and other human activities are encroaching on this land and they are disturbing the environment of this area. It is time they think about moving to other areas. I also support the stand by the committee and the recommendation that the County Government of Nyamira should issue a moratorium in terms of alienating any more land until a proper environmental plan is set out and implemented. I am surprised that the County Government of Nyamira does not have an environmental plan for a wetland. This is a terrible thing that needs to be corrected. If the Senate Committee has found that a county does not have an environmental plan for a wetland, this is a huge indictment on the County of Nyamira and they ought to do something about it. This moratorium should not stay forever. The county must come up with a plan, even if it is a bad plan. That bad plan will give way to a good one when maybe a new governor comes and that good one may give way to a better plan and that better one may give to a best plan when new administrations come into place. Nonetheless, it is terrible that a whole county does not have a plan for a wetland. I thank the Senate Committee for pointing out this. I hope the governor and his teams in Nyamira are listening to the Senate today as we are talking about this report. We, as a nation, are not happy to hear that a county does not have an environmental management plan for a wetland that is critical to people who are living within that area. I am pleading with them to take it upon themselves and the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Land, Environment and Natural Resources to work on this, but not just to sit on a moratorium to stop people from alienating the land. One of the things I want to mention is that we all know that human development and the protection of the environment are always in competition.
