    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are several factors that have contributed to the increase of the water hyacinth. The first one is natural - the availability of light, nitrogen and phosphorus. That condition is currently very prevalent. The light conditions in the lake area are conducive to the spread of that particular weed. I agree with Prof. Olweny that the reduction of the hyacinth that was observed during 1997/1998 was attributed to the introduction of the weevil. There is a reduction in the number of weevils. That is an issue that we are currently investigating with the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI). We are controlling and determining levels of nutrients in the waters so that, that atmosphere that has been created within the water is not conducive to the spread or growth of the water hyacinth. There is nothing that can be done on lighting. But a study is being done to determine what happened to the weevils, so that we can increase their numbers. We also want to contain the nutrients in the water."
