Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rarely agree with Sen. Murkomen and I rarely disagree with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. However, our Standing Orders are not suggestions and cannot be taken casually. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr was wrong; it is not Standing Order 96; it is 100. Standing Order 100 talks about the responsibility for a statement of fact. It says, “A Senator shall be responsible for the accuracy of any facts that the Senator alleges to be true and may be required to substantiate any such facts instantly.”

That is the only difference.

Well guided, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just want to quickly thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Health for that Statement on the environment. Indeed, environment and health are directly related. Sen. (Dr.) Mbito has mentioned very many places in Nairobi City. In fact, this event was led by the President last weekend. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I saw the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources. I think he is still making his way into the Chamber. Since the pandemic started, there has been a huge increase of people dumping effluent into our rivers in Nairobi. ...
