    "content": "Sorry, certificate of urgency. However, this is an emergency because we cannot allow action of an individual to hurt others. What was NEMA doing for that pollution to escalate to that level? These are things that when you go down there you are told you can operate as long as you give us an envelope then after eight months, it comes back to the same level. We need to set standards. I also want to appeal to the operators of Kibos - I do not know them - to take care of the environment. If there is anything that you are doing, go through the environmental impact assessment. The law is clear in terms of the procedures that need to be followed and NEMA has to be clear. If you have decentralised your operations, you have no business issuing orders from the headquarters such that when the inspector - I think his name is Richard Korir - was being given the petition by the farmers, he said that he could not do anything and that the matters should be referred to the headquarters. I will refer the matter to the headquarters and let them respond because the matter has been taken away from him; it is too big. It is all about money. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I plead with you that you assign this to the Committee and ensure that they move expeditiously. Maybe on Tuesday or even tomorrow, they can make sure they summon the Director General of NEMA and directors of that company so that we can save these poor Kenyans who depend on that factory for sustenance."
