    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, let me apologise to this House because the Question had to be called for the second time. I was briefly held up. However, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there are air emissions emanating from the operations of the Pan African Paper Mills, Webuye, in the form of particulate matter, nitrogen oxide, chlorine gas and hydrogen chloride gas. In addition, there is liquid effluent from the factory which is discharged through the treatment ponds and, thereafter, after treatment, to River Nzoia. However, the company has put in place internal mechanisms which include modern equipment and facilities that ensure that the emissions and liquid effluent remain within the standards set by National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). (b) The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) conducted an audit of the organisation's environmental management system on 27th and 28th October, 2008. Pan Paper is International Standards Organization (ISO) certified. It was given an ISO certificate No.14001 of 2004 on environmental management as well as the documentation thereof. That environmental management system ensures that air emissions and effluent are properly treated and have no negative effects on environment, human life and buildings, amongst other things. That audit by both KEBS and NEMA are, in fact, routine for any certified organization."
