I hereby report to the Senate that the Petition has been submitted through the Clerk by a Mr. John Kimeu Mukai on behalf of Thange River Basin Community. As you are aware, under Article 119(1) of the Constitution, and I quote:- “Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including to enact, amend or repeal any legislation.” Hon. Senators, the salient issues raised in the said Petition are as follows:- (1) An underground petroleum oil spill incident by Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Limited occurred on 12th May, 2015, at Thange River along Mombasa-Nairobi pipeline, in Kibwezi, Makueni County. (2) The water sample analysis by the Water Resource Management Authority indicated high presence of oil and grease from ground and surface water samples collected from River Thange. (3) An Environmental and Socio-economic Impact Assessment study of Thange River Basin was conducted by PANAFCON Kenya Limited, where observations, analysis and recommendations were made. May I allow the Members to come in."
