My question is; what is Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA) doing? I know they do have very firm policies on how to deal with spillage. I want to know what has been done. I ask this because from the pictures that we saw from the Members who visited that place, the oil spill is still there. We have a policy that has a dispersant effect of that oil film, which would have been done by now, but that has not happened since 2015."

If they have not done anything to disperse that fume of oil, then people will continue suffering from the rising cases of diabetes, liver and kidney diseases. An urgent action needs to be done and it should be reported to the Senate. We, as a Senate, should not just visit a place then the implementation mechanism becomes too weak. The residents need to take advantage of legislators having made a visit to that area."

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I arise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on a matter of national concern namely the Implementation of the Inter-Agency Technical Committee Report of 2019, which proposes the reduction of hardship allowances allocation from Kshs25 billion to Kshs19 billion and the reclassification of hardship zones across the country. The implementation of this report stands to affect thousands of civil servants serving in areas previously recognized as hardship zone, including Elgeyo Marakwet County which is proposed for removal from classification as a hardship area despite security challenges that have hampered effective service delivery in that region. In the statement, the committee should address the following- (1) The rationale behind the proposed reduction in hardship allowances from Kshs25 billion to Kshs19 billion and the justification for the reclassification of hardship zones. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

(4) The intended use of the Kshs6 billion projected to be saved through the reduction in hardship allowances. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Can I continue?"
