In Kenya, you can see that we are taking adequate measures in relation to the Mau Forest, so as to restore it to its original position. The Ministry and the Prime Minister are working tirelessly to see that, that is happening. Again, it is the same with the Nairobi River and rivers discharging into it. We are taking action! We are there to do business. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said loudly that the EMCA of 1999 was done on the strength of a policy in Sessional Paper No.6.
