    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute and support this Motion that has been ably moved by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Environmental and Natural Resources on adoption of the Report on LDKL. It is not in doubt that LDKL has been emitting effluent into our waters and air, particularly air pollution which has been a major concern that has affected many of its neighbours and homesteads around the area and even maybe far, as you have alluded, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Out of concern, we have also seen that this is a matter that is coming before the House again. The 11th Parliament was seized of this mater and at one point, as we have heard, the company was ordered closed so that they could undertake some modernisation. However, we still continue to see that people are affected and it is very clear. Committee Members went there is foul smell coming from the place. When we met these people, they alluded to having employed many Kenyans. They also said that they are paying a lot in taxes."
