    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also want to make comments regarding this Petition. For the record, Athi River has its sources in Ngong Hills which is in Kajiado West Constituency. As the Member has put it, the river impacts the people of Kajiado County all the way to Kibwezi and beyond. It is true that the environmental problem that this river has faced is because of the many industries, as Hon. Ottichilo put it, in Athi River and Nairobi. However, I think what needs to be looked at further is how to protect the river sources so that where our rivers begin, they are protected by planting more trees so that these rivers can survive. I remember very well during the recent rains there was a lot of soil erosion at the Ngong Hills and other places like the Mau. So, it is a huge environmental issue. If we are not careful as a country, we will lose the precious gift of water. Without water, there cannot be life. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
