    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, so just breathe in and out because you will be hearing a lot about ODM and the party leader going to the African Union (AU). Just get used to these things; they will occupy our spaces for a while now. During Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s contribution, I heard him try to create the impression that these petitioners have approached the Senate so that they can get a piece of the cake from this wetland. Those are not the prayers in the Petition. That is what I want Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to get. Number two; anybody invoking Article 119 of the Constitution and approaches the Senate needs to see that the Senate cares about the concerns of Kenyans. I have nothing against the Chairperson of this Committee, my friend, Sen. Methu. However, when Kenyans bring a Petition of this nature, complaining that a public entity is trying to divert a river so that they can do construction, the least the people of Nyamira expected is for the Senate committee to physically go to the ground and assess the situation for themselves. It is sad that reading through the report, the committee merely relied on what they were told by NEMA, the petitioners and the county government. With tremendous respect, I urge my good friend, Sen. Methu that, next time when a community as progressive as this one seeks the preservation of a wetland for the benefit of future The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
