    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to make my contributions to this very important Bill. Let me say that this country has been in the fore-front of talking about the environment. We are very advanced on paper in terms of the environment. We even house the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). This was a foresight by our forefathers to provide this global facility in our country. The late Prof. Wangari Maathai was recognized internationally as an environmentalist to the extent that she got a Nobel Peace Prize for her role in the conservation of the environment. That is about all we can show despite the fact that we have laws in this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, diseases like cancer have increased in this country tremendously due to the careless handling of our environment. Pollution of our rivers goes on unchecked. Industrial toxic waste is pumped into our rivers, but nothing is done despite the existence of laws on environment. 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."
