    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was a spillage which occurred in May. There were some remedial measures taken based on the cause of spillage into River Thange. This was because of the corrosion in the pipes. The leakage was stopped. There were temporary measures. Later on, permanent measures were put in place. The National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) was notified on the 19th June, 2015 to establish the point where the pipeline was leaking and mitigate effects and carry out environmental mediation. The letter yet, from NEMA has not been received on what they have undertaken and the results they have found. We had been asked to state whether Environmental Assessment Impact (EAI) was conducted on the underground water. NEMA officers visited the scene, NEMA’s County Director, Makueni, has been to the site and is apprised of the matter. The Water Resource Management Authority (WRMA) officers have also visited the scene. We are not privy to any independent report that may have been done by the two agencies. So, we have still not received the NEMA nor WRMA reports. With regard to the remedial actions that have been undertaken, the Kenya Pipeline Corporation (KPC) has contracted SGS Kenya Ltd., a NEMA approved company The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
