    "content": "have received Kshs150 million. I hope that money has not ended up in the pockets of people in the County Government of Nyamira. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this country, people exchange bribes every minute, both in the national and county governments. You receive money from a donor to assist in climate change, but you pocket it as a governor with your officers. Why can he not take steps to direct the climate change money to rehabilitate this wetland? We want money that is given to us by our donors to impact the lives of the people who reside in our respective county governments. The idea of people dumping is a shame. I come from Nyamira, but we do not have a sewer system. We dig septic tanks. As a way of addressing the concerns raised by the people of Misambi who are under the jurisdiction of Governor Nyaribo, he should also move with speed to do something to ensure that this wetland is protected. He should utilize money that has been given by our donors to help. Finally, there is a recommendation that the Environment and Land Court in Nyamira should expedite a resolution of the ongoing land dispute cases touching on Siany Wetland. I hope the resident judge in Nyamira, without trying in any way to influence how they should rule, should at least determine the cases that are pending before the Nyamira Land and Environment Court, so that the good citizens who are very keen in protecting the environment for future generations can have trust and faith in our institutions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to see what I saw in Meru. We do not want this dispute to be referred to the wazees in Nyamira, the way the dispute in Meru was referred to Njuri Ncheke . We have our courts so that those who approach them can get solutions. If we want to go to wazee, we can go to wazee, but for us to go to court, it means that even the efforts and interventions by them have failed. We do not want the judge without directing him, to invoke what I saw in Meru and refer this dispute to you NjuriNcheke . Let him decide and whoever receives an order from the court directing them to do anything should comply. I support this Motion, but I hope I can get a second bite on it to have some amendments so that issues that I have raised can be addressed. I also urge the committee to consider making a physical visit, to Nyamira."
