    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also take this opportunity to support these petitioners. The rampant degradation of the environment and other hazards in this country is huge. Maybe the NEMA is sleeping on its job. Recently, in Laikipia County, three children died in a quarry which was left unattended to. We have raised so many issues in this House, for example, where in Nyamira County a contractor went to a catchment area and constructed without NEMA intervening and enforcing such requirements. I, therefore, request this House, as the defender of devolution, to consider maybe having a select committee which will visit the entire country and look at the issues and especially, educate the county assemblies. This is because some of these matters are supposed to be addressed by the county assemblies. But since we understand their teething problems in grasping some of these issues, it is important that we also play our role. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
