I, therefore, wish to convey to the House that the Office of the Speaker has received a Petition signed by one Geoffrey Elphas Kokonya, on behalf of Bukhayo Council of Elders, regarding construction of a dam along Suo River, among other prayers. The Petitioner is praying that the National Assembly recommends that the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources halts the construction of the water dam along the Suo River wetland as this will lead to water shortage in Busia Town and its environs. Hon. Members, this Petition stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources for consideration. The Committee is required to consider the Petition and report its findings to the Petitioner and the House in accordance with Standing Order No.227(2). Thank you. On petitions again, Hon. Members, we have received a request from Hon. (Dr.) Chris Wamalwa. Please, proceed and prosecute your petition."
