"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations on a matter of inter-county regarding the construction of dykes along Sondu Miriu River by the National Youth Service (NYS) under the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sondu Miriu River forms the boundary between Kisumu and Homa Bay counties. The river frequently bursts its banks resulting in devastating floods that affect both Nyakach in Kisumu County and Rachuonyo in Homa Bay County. Currently, there is construction of dykes taking place on the Homa Bay side of the river. However, there is no corresponding effort on the Kisumu side. This poses a serious threat as the dykes could potentially redirect floodwaters towards Nyakach, putting residents at increased risk of destruction and displacement. In this Statement, the Committee should address the following- 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."

(2) Whether a hydrological impact assessment was conducted prior to the commencement of the project and if so, the findings of such hydrological assessment. (3) The plans by the Government to ensure that similar dyke construction is undertaken on the Kisumu side to safeguard the residents of Nyakach from potential disaster. (4) The current and planned intervention by the relevant agencies for comprehensive flood control and mitigation in all affected counties."

"content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget on a matter of national concern regarding the allocation and utilisation of public funds amounting to Kshs1.3 billion disbursed from the national Government budget in the Financial Year 2022/2023 for the expansion of the Dandora Wastewater Treatment Plant in Ruai, Nairobi County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Nairobi produces an estimated 450 million litres of sewage daily, while the treatment plant has a current capacity of only 160 million litres. The 2022/2023 National Government Budget allocation included Kshs1 billion for the plant expansion and Kshs300 million for the construction of a perimeter wall. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following: (1) A breakdown of the Kshs1.3 billion expenditure, including contract details, procurement process followed, project milestones and the value for money analysis. (2) The status of the implementation, including the extent of the expansion completed at the treatment plant and whether the facility's capacity has increased in line with the initial objectives. (3) The rationale and cost structure of the Kshs300 million perimeter wall, including the design specifications, contracting entity and the certification of works completed. (4) Whether the State Department for Public Works and other implementing agencies involved in the works submitted periodic reports on the use of funds to the Office of Controller of Budget (CoB) and whether the Auditor General has reviewed the expenditures and ascertained whether the funds were applied appropriately."
