    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the hon. Member for coming up with suggestions on how to solve this problem. We know that the problem of desertification and climate change is a very serious one. That is why we hosted the world conference on climate change about two weeks ago. The two lakes are served by rivers which originate from areas where there is a lot of forest degradation. Lake Nakuru is served by four rivers, that is Makalia, Enderit, Naishi, Njoro, Lamudiac and also some supply from the natural springs on the northern part of the lake. Lake Elementaita is also fed by two inflowing rivers and hot springs on the southern part of the lake as well as run off water and direct rainfall. The problem that we have, and which must be solved, is the gazettement of Lake Elementaita for protection. As things are now, the area around Lake Elementaita is enclosed by communal and community land owners. Therefore, it will be necessary for the other Ministries concerned, that is the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and the Ministry of Lands to work with my Ministry so that we can have this land gazetted as a protected area. As soon as that is done and people are educated, I know these lakes will be saved."
