    "content": "In the last Parliament, I was a Member of this Committee and we had problems with NEMA. I agree with Hon. Sakwa that NEMA needs to be audited. We had problems with Tullow Oil. There were many issues with regard to environmental degradation caused by activities undertaken by Tullow Oil. Despite that, NEMA gave us satisfactory information on the strategic environmental assessment on oil and gas industry in Kenya. Such information was going to guide the country beyond what Tullow Oil was doing. We had many problems at the initial stages of Tullow’s work in Turkana. We raised issues to do with disposal of effluent and other hazardous waste, air pollutions, safety of water resources for both livestock and humans, occupational safety and the presence of dangerous materials on drilling sites. So, NEMA and the Committee have a big job to do. The NEMA has to comply with the Committee’s recommendations."
