    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate those Senators who have contributed to this Petition’s report. I rise to reply to this Petition. There are three prayers and questions. On all of them, we have engaged the Petitioner, the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, the National Environmental Authority (NEMA) and everyone and we came up with this report. When it comes to Petition, as a committee we have so many petitions but I can confirm the number. In each of the Petitions, there are requests that we have to go to the ground to visit and check for ourselves. Nevertheless, when it comes to the package of finance, it will be very difficult for us to heed each of the petition's requests for us to visit the counties. Besides, we have taken the request of the Senator of Nyamira, so that at least we can solve that issue. We have engaged some institutions and recommended that the County Government of Nyamira in collaboration with the Ministry of Land, Public Works Housing and Urban Development and the National Land Commission (NLC), should conduct a public participation exercise to establish clearly and correct boundaries marked by a beacon, to prevent the encroachment of the wetland. Additionally, the KPS, in collaboration with NEMA under the guidance of the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, need to develop and implement a comprehensive environmental management plan to prevent environmental degradation, manage waste effectively and promote sustainable practices within the prison operations. They should also ensure compliance with all relevant environmental regulations to improve the current condition of the wetland. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think all the information has been raised, but NEMA, the Ministry and the County Government of Nyamira, should also establish, monitor and report in the framework to track the progress of the conservation and restoration of the wetland. They should conduct regular site visits and assess to ensure compliance with the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and other conservation measures by documenting and sharing results with all stakeholders, including the Senate Standing Committee of Land, Environment and Natural Resources. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all those comments from the Senators, pursuant to the Standing Order No.66(3,) I request that you defer the putting of question on this Motion to a later date. I thank you."
