    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Hon. Chachu has to leave me alone. I am about to finish. That was on a light touch. I know that he is with me in spirit. He has been my biggest supporter. He was the Secretary of the Inter-Parties Parliamentary Group (IPPG). This Bill deals with issues of environment and health safety. Issues of cancer and dumping of toxic waste will never happen. It also establishes a disaster preparedness system that includes a prevention and management unit under the Ministry of Mining in order to co-ordinate all accidents, disasters and emergencies with the relevant ministries and agencies. The sector we are dealing with is dangerous in terms of safety. Therefore, we must prepare our communities. It provides for the establishment of a trustee fund and a board of directors by the county governments to represent the citizens. Finally, there is a war of words between Cabinet Secretary Matiang’i and the National Land Commission (NLC) Chairman. The moment a Bill comes to Parliament, the train has left the station. There is no way the NLC and Cabinet Secretary Matiang’i can discuss the Land Bills. It is the prerogative of Parliament - the National Assembly and the Senate - to change even the title of a Bill. This is where the representatives of the people are. This is where Bills can be amended, including their titles. New bills can come into force because Parliament and, more so, the National Assembly will seriously deliberate on them.
