    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a Ministry, we do not have a dedicated unit that is mandated to do surveillance of the Mara River. However, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is helping in this regard. Even the kind of analyses I have managed to produce and table here today are as a result of the KWS collecting samples and taking them to our national laboratories. Therefore, we do not have a dedicated unit that is supposed to do surveillance of our rivers and ocean. Last year, I presented a Memorandum before the Cabinet to be allowed to set up a coast guard so that it performs surveillance services within the Indian Ocean, Lake Victoria, and our rivers. Until that coast guard is put in place with a very clear mandate to offer surveillance in these areas, at the moment we will keep on relying on the KWS with regard to our rivers. For the Indian Ocean, we will rely on the Kenya Marine and the Kenya Navy. That is the situation as it obtains now."
