    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(C), I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Implementation regarding the status of implementation of a resolution of the National Assembly regarding initiatives to promote a clean environment. By a resolution passed on Thursday, 21st April 2016, during the 11th Parliament, the House approved a Motion sponsored by the then Member of Emuhaya Constituency, Hon. (Dr) Wilber Ottichilo. It resolved that the government declares one Thursday of each month to be dedicated by every Kenyan household, organised groups, public and private institutions, and corporate organisations, to cleaning and beautifying the immediate environment and public places. The government is supposed to initiate proactive programmes in all schools to inculcate a culture of keeping our environment clean and healthy. The intent behind this policy is to foster environmental responsibility, reduce pollution and promote sustainable waste management practices as anchored in Articles 69 and 70 of the Constitution. Standing Order No.209(2)(a) empowers the Committee on Implementation to scrutinise resolutions of the House and examine whether or not such decisions and undertakings have been implemented, the extent to which they have been implemented, and whether the implementation has taken place within the minimum time necessary. It is, therefore, imperative that the House is apprised of the progress made by the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry in the development and implementation of this initiative. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Select Committee on Implementation to provide a comprehensive report on the progress made in implementing the initiative to promote a clean environment as passed by the National Assembly on Thursday, 21st April 2016. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
