"content": "You will get an exposé in a media house talking about this story. We get enraged and we have Kenyans on Tweeter tweeting and trending. After two days, we go back to buying the same food. Nobody asks where it came from. These are the things that we must think about. I have even wondered whether this House – and Sen. Sakaja, you need to think about this- cannot think through a legislation that will establish Nairobi River Commission as an independent entity that will make sure we deal with the problems of Nairobi River. It is not just in Nairobi alone, but in adjacent counties of Kajiado or the sources that come from Kiambu towards Machakos. River Thames had reached a stage of pollution that Nairobi River has, but they managed to rehabilitate it. Today, it is one of the major tourist attraction, source of transport and beautifies London because they took an initiative. Let us stop this business of saying we cannot do certain things because it will affect Nairobi City County or that Nairobi City County has the sole responsibility to do it. Nairobi City County alone cannot solve Nairobi River problems because this is a pollution of over 40 years."
