Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, allow me to take this chance because I have not had any chance to speak, to thank our Speaker, Hon.

Madam Temporary Speaker, Secondly I support the Bill particularly under Clause 58 where it is majorly talking about how the environment shall be managed. This is because yesterday we received a lot of information and petitions. For example, from Nandi County we got the issue of the Karebe Goldmine. In other areas we are getting issues on quarries that are affecting the environment.

This Bill has dealt well on the issues of managing the environment. I think with very little amendments, the Bill will really assist us. In addition, I have also noted that it has clauses that are looking at the issue of human resources.

from the industries on how employees are mistreated in terms of remuneration, work years and separation from the company.
