    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a Report on the Petition by Hon. Abdullahi Mohamed Diriye on behalf of the residents of downstream Ewaso Nyiro River Basin and the management of Ewaso Nyiro River by the Water Resource Management Authority (WRMA). The Petition was presented to the Committee on 31st March, 2015. The petitioners’ prayers were that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, investigates the circumstances under which WRMA has been issuing water extraction and abstraction permits to upstream users in breach of Section 29(4) and Section 32(2) of the Water Act (2002), and intervenes with the relevant authorities to ensure that the permits issued contrary to the provisions of the Water Act 2002 are revoked forthwith, with the view of alleviating the acute shortage caused to downstream users. In considering the Petition, the Committee held a meeting with the Petitioner, Hon. Abdullahi Diriye. The Committee also held meetings with officials of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and Water Resource Management Authority (WRMA). The The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
