"content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Report by the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. This is the way forward. We have had contention in committees over issues, for example, the discussion on the Division of Revenue Bill. I am happy that this Committee was able to reach an agreed position, and now we can move this country forward. I want to support, especially Clause 10, over which there were a lot of contentious issues. There is no way a Government institution can proceed without legal advice from the chief Government legal advisor, that is the Attorney-General. There is need for NEMA to have an action plan. I am of the opinion that this body called NEMA is not doing anything for this country. As much as we appropriate a lot of money to NEMA, they have failed. We saw what happened in the lead factory in Mombasa, where young children died. We saw so many graves of people who died as a result of the lead factory. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
