"content": "Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining regarding flooding and environmental degradation affecting Kasarini Primary School, as a result of wastewater discharge from the Five Star Paradise Housing Development in Runda. In 2014, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) approved the construction of Five Star Paradise Estate in Runda. The developers constructed this housing development between 2014 and 2016. The construction significantly altered the topography of the area, severely affecting Kasarini Primary School which neighbours the estate. It has suffered from severe flooding and environmental degradation as a result of wastewater discharge from the estate, which has turned the school grounds into a wetland. This situation has exposed both students and teachers to severe health risks. The sanitation facilities in the school, including toilets, have become clogged and the playground is flooded, making them unusable. In addition, uncontrolled water flow from the estate has led to emergence of water springs across the school. This situation has raised concern regarding the environmental regulatory considerations applied by NEMA during approvals of development projects and oversight of compliance after completion. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining on the following– 1. Report detailing the process followed by the NEMA in granting approvals to the developers of Five Star Paradise Runda Estate, including the Environmental Impact Assessment that the agency conducted. 2. Actions that the Ministry has taken to curb any further pollution and to mitigate the health and environmental risks posed by wastewater discharge into Kasarini Primary School. 3. Steps being taken to restore Kasarini Primary School as a safe and conducive learning environment for students, including any plans for compensation to the school for the damages suffered as a result of the pollution, indicating specific timelines for the said compensation. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
