    "content": ".: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to congratulate Sen. Kang’ata for this timely Petition. Through the last Senate and the Committee on Energy, Roads and Transportation, at the time chaired by Sen. Moi, the people of Kibwezi East Constituency managed to benefit from an intervention of the worst oil spillage in the country. So, this is also a matter that should be taken seriously. Part of the recommendations made by the Committee on Energy, Roads and Transportation at the time was that part of the failure in some of these disasters or events is the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). Therefore, the Committee that will be charged with this responsibility should look at a proposal; do we need to restructure the NEMA? This is because the Act is very clear. Sen. Kang’ata would not need to bring a Petition like this if somebody had bothered to advertise and publicise the report that would lead to the said dumpsite. Needless to say, we have mismanaged waste management in all counties. If you drive to the airport in Mombasa County, before you get there, the first thing that you see on the left hand side is an ugly site of waste. Before we deal with this issue, and I believe it will most likely be the Committee on Health and the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources --- This is a matter that affects Nairobi County – I can see Sen. Sakaja here – and we need to handle it. 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."
