    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the Ministry receives any report that an industry is within an area which is prohibited by law, obviously, that is closed down. There have been a lot of closures of even quarries. Even last week, we had quarries in Kitui closed down by the District Environmental Officer. So, that takes place immediately it is known. But it is also true that before any industry is set up, it is very important that Kenyans get to know that it is their right to know if an EIA has been issued. It is the right of every Kenyan to ask for it. You will realize that we normally advertize for EIA before any industry takes off, and that is a procedure that is undertaken in the Ministry. But should anything arise before the Ministry issues the EIA, it is the right of every Kenyan to demand to know whether an EIA was done. If it was not done, it must be done, because it is not allowed in Kenya now to have an industry without an EIA."
