    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From my understanding of what riparian land is; it is supposed to be like a road reserve. For purposes of the river, it will be a water reserve to accommodate floods. Therefore, in Nairobi itself, riparian land has been grabbed to the extent that even the house that was collapsing in Mathare was on the river itself. There is one on Mbagathi Way where the river passes under the building. There are others on Argwings Kodhek and Brookside where the river passes under the buildings. We would like to know who is in charge in terms of authority of riparian land in Kenya. What is the legislative or policy framework of riparian land in Kenya? What is the size of riparian land for us to determine whether there is encroachment in those premises? If you are going to make any recovery, up to what extent will you make that recovery? If that does not exist, they should propose a legislative framework where we can recover riparian land. That is the problem we have in Naivasha where flower farmers have planted all the way into Lake Naivasha."
