    "content": "pollution, damage to buildings adjacent to the quarries, diversion of waterways and underground reservoirs as a result of tunneling, water pollution, and increased human- wildlife conflicts. (c) Meaningful public participation was not undertaken prior to commencement of construction of phase 2A of the SGR, which deprived affected communities of the chance to express themselves on the issue. (d) Compensation of affected persons and communities along the SGR route has been inadequate, and has ignored the devaluation effect to the properties along the SGR route. The Petitioners, therefore, pray that the Senate urgently investigates this matter and makes appropriate recommendations thereon. Among the proposals made by the Petitioners are that the Senate should:- (i) Direct the phase 2A Contractor, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), to rehabilitate roads, schools and other infrastructure which have been adversely affected by the ongoing construction. (ii) Direct the phase 2A Contractor to build water reservoirs to compensate for the adverse effects of tunneling along the SGR route in Kajiado County, which has affected the existing streams and underground reservoirs in the area. (iii) Direct the phase 2A Contractor to put appropriate measures in place to ensure the air and noise pollution levels from the projects are significantly reduced. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No. 226(1), I shall now allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the Petition for not more than 30 minutes."
