(a) The state of environment report that have to date been compiled by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) as provided for in Section 9(2)(p) of the Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act, EMCA, No.8 of 1999, is hereby tabled. With your permission, this report is for eight years and is very comprehensive. I ask for your permission to table the report.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have circulated this report to the districts where we have environmental committees. Our officers in those districts lead others in creating awareness in wananchi . We have also decided that, very soon, we will go to the media houses to educate the Kenyan people on this.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the sentiments of the hon. Member that we do not have environmental officers in all the districts. But we are now working at say 70 per cent capacity. NEMA has now recruited more environmental officers and they will be posted to the districts where they are non-existent. On returns, yes, NEMA is getting returns from the districts.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for any impact assessment – most sincerely on roads - my officers have no delays, unless the hon. Member tells me what has happened. I do not have a specific case of any delay or not doing things on time.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said it earlier on and I repeat that awareness is now being created in the districts by environmental officers. Yes, it is true that we have not deployed environmental officers 100 per cent. But we have recruited them and, very soon, we are going to post them to the respective districts. I said that very clearly.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I mentioned in my report the many organizations, and which are the lead agencies that are involved. Lead agencies include non-governmental agencies, parastatals and districts. We reach these people from every corner. That is what I have listed in my answer.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very good question. Right now, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has already gone to the counties. We are posting our officers now to the counties.
