I want to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources with regard to the 50 fishermen in 30 boats who were trapped by water hyacinth in the gulf of Lake Victoria, Rachuonyo North District from 29th to 31st August, 2012 and left two people dead. In the Statement, the Minister should:- (i) confirm that if it were not for the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) who rescued the fishermen, who had been stranded without food and water for three days, all these Kenyans would have perished; (ii) clarify whether the consultant’s report which he alluded to in this House on 15th February, 2012 on the removal of the water hyacinth is ready; and if so, he should outline its findings and recommendations; (iii) further clarify the status of the project of clearing the gulf of the water hyacinth, which should include the rehabilitation of the Mbita Causeway; (iv) confirm to this House that the fishermen in Lake Victoria are assured of their safety and lake waters are made good for human and domestic use."
