    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion brought by my Chief Whip. The Motion is a welcome move at this point in time. I also concur with the sentiments of my Party Leader, that we need an amendment to make it a proper and broad based Motion. My colleagues have spoken about factories and industries. I am going to talk about factories in Nyamira County. The factories there have no mechanisms in terms of discharge of effluent. This has caused a lot of agony to the environment and the surrounding families and schools. For instance, there is a school called Tombe Primary School. For the last 30 years, the pupils who go to that school suffer from high calibre lithia, which comes from the factory. So, this Motion is welcome as it will encompass some of these details to see to it that even factories which have been there since Independence have safety mechanisms. Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, we have the privilege of hosting the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in this country. But more often than not, if you see the activities of UNEP in this country, they are just concentrated in urban centres, seminars and hotels. I have never seen these people in the other parts of the world, like in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
