    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that was a big oversight on the part of the committee. I hope you can revisit and make a physical visit to Nyamira. Sen. Dullo has left. She and Sen. Chute come from counties where they have community land. Community land should be used for the benefit of the people who reside in those counties. If you read the report, the committee confirms that this is a community land gazetted with a title under the County Government of Nyamira. However, KPS has taken over the land. If you read through the report, they have diverted a river to create way for construction of a prison. How can we, as a country, allow a Government department to destroy our ecosystem? Are we a normal country? These are people in uniform who carry guns invading our wetland and diverting a river. Mr. Ijagi who taught me geography in high school told me that it takes many years for a river to change its course and that occurs through a natural happening and not through physical activities. I expected the committee to make a strong recommendation, that the activities being undertaken by KPS should cease forthwith. We cannot allow KPS to come to Nyamira and destroy our springs because it is not right. Sen. M. Kajwang’ will tell you that we borrowed the name from Homa Bay. We call it Kamoti Water Spring. My good friend, retired Chief Ontita, was our chief in Misambi in Nyamira, but he came from Homa Bay. How can we allow KPS to come and divert Kamoti Water Spring and start constructing a prison? 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."
