Benjamin Washiali","speaker":{"id":151,"legal_name":"Benjamin Jomo Washiali","slug":"benjamin-washiali"},"content":"Given that the Chairperson is away inspecting dams, as a ranking Member of this Committee, I submit that, we are trying to avoid what happened in the case of the Petition that was brought to the House by Hon. Korir. We have a number of stakeholders in the field of environment, for example, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) that has to give a report in 60 days. It will become complicated in terms of meeting the required timelines. I, therefore, request Hon. Hassan Hulufo, who is a Member of the Committee to second."}
