Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was disappointed when I heard hon. Gabbow say I am taking this matter very lightly. This is a very serious matter. I am not taking it lightly as he alleges. That is why I went to Naivasha. I am very much concerned about this matter. I salute the relevant Departmental Committee for going to Naivasha to see for themselves what is happening on the ground. We are trying to sort out this problem collectively.

With regard to what hon. C. Kilonzo has raised, we must take action. I have already instructed my Permanent Secretary to institute disciplinary action against those two officers in the Ministry who misled me. I have further instructed him to charge some of the NEMA officers immediately. I will also suspend Board Members of Naivasha Water Company and charge them in court.

The company treats waste water at its treatment plant before discharging it into the lake. However, my officers visited and inspected the plant on 4th December, 2009. After analyzing the findings of the inspection, the company was on 31st December, 2009, instructed to increase the capacity of the treatment plant with a view to reducing its overload. The company did not comply. Consequently, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) instituted legal proceedings against ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to repeat what I said. The NWSC is not releasing any raw sewage into the lake. We have taken the company to court, not for discharging raw sewage, but because its treatment plant cannot take a big load. We advised them on what to do. However, they did not comply and that is why we took them to court.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government has advised the sewerage company what to do. What is being discharged into Lake Naivasha is very âskeletonâ, with no raw sewage being discharged. My officers have advised the NWSC to expand its treatment plant to be able to treat any load of raw sewerage.
