    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute in support of this Motion. From the onset I would like to echo the sentiments of Sen. G.G. Kariuki who said that this Motion should not go unnoticed. It has come out that the Motions that are discussed and passed in this House are not attended to by the consumers of those Motions. In this case, I mean the relevant Ministry officers who should be seated in the public gallery as we discuss these Motions. They should listen to the sentiments of the Senators with regard to these Motions. I am sure if officers of NEMA were here, they would have listened to the sentiments of the Senators and got to know their weaknesses. They should be allowed to be present in the public gallery. It should be law that when we are discussing these Motions, officers from the relevant Ministries should be present to listen to what we say. They should be given notice on time. This is for your consideration and it will be discussed further by your office. We need not discuss Motions which address obvious issues. This is an environmentally friendly Motion and it should have come many years ago and its implementation should have taken place even before we came here. Since Sen. G.G. Kariuki, a Member of the Committee on Implementation has said that he will see to it that this is done, that is the confirmation we would like to hear from Members and from those people who listen to what we are saying. It is also important that apart from just being seen on television, other people should also know that we discuss some of these things in this Senate. I am wondering what happened to the popular radio programme; L eo Katika Bunge or Leo Katika Seneti so that people can get to hear what the Senators 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"
