"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, very briefly, the Assistant Minister has said that they are still waiting for analysis of the samples which were taken to the Government Chemist. When will these samples be available in as far as the usage of water is concerned, for us to find out whether it is fit for human and livestock consumption? He has said, and I had mentioned to him earlier, that a copy of the findings was copied to me through my farm manager by the name of Mr. Asiso. I do not have such a farm manager and no such report was copied to me. Finally, the Ministry of Agriculture, through one of their officers by the name of Kimani who is a divisional agricultural officer in the constituency, is currently doing a study on river pollution. So, I am very curious to know, is there no co-ordination within the Government between various Ministries? In as far as that Ministry is concerned, water on Athi River is polluted to such an extent that it is the cause of cholera, dysentery, death of fish and many other effects. This water is not good even for use in horticulture farming. If you look at the Questions on todayâs Order Paper, three Questions are dealing with pollution of water in Lake Naivasha and the Mara. Is there no definite plan by the Government to address the issue of pollution in all water masses within the country?"
