    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this very important matter of national concern. We, as Senate, are very concerned about the welfare of our people. That is why we wanted to adjourn until the Chair made a ruling. I want to thank the Speaker’s Panel for coming up with the Considered Ruling. The nation should know that the select Committee that was led by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. did a commendable job. They did not allow themselves to be compromised in any way. The Committee was impartial and objective. Indeed, it wanted the nation to know what exactly happened in Solai. Madam Temporary Speaker, the recommendations of the Committee are authentic. They went to the ground and got data that is verifiable. This data cannot be challenged and that it will stand the test of time. It is for this reason that the findings of the Committee should not just go down unnoticed. They must reach the highest authority. They must be acted upon by the President. When lives are lost because of manmade disasters, it is truly hurting. It came out so clearly that Mr. Perry Mansukh deliberately diverted the water because he is an entrepreneur who was benefiting from it. It was very unfortunate that many people lost their lives. He knew very well that after diverting the water he would still use it to mint money from people. Mr. Mansukh is not a genuine person. He was just being cunning. Kenyans want to know the content of this Report. We, as the Senate, need to go on record that we are concerned about what is happening. The Chairperson recommends here that there is need for an environmental audit. I support him. We should not involve WARMA in this audit because they are an interested party. We need an impartial body to do so."
