    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. This is a very important issue. The difference between civilized societies; countries that care for their citizens and place a premium over people’s lives over profit is in how they handle such issues. As a nation, I am afraid that we have not done well in this area despite the fact that this is plainly about human lives. It is not a discussion about profit, plastic or the degradation of the environment. It is purely about human lives. This is such a serious indictment on us as leaders. Where do citizens of this country looking to for answers to such questions? Why are such paints still in use in our country? Why are certain types of fertilizers that are banned all over the world used on the poor people of Africa and still being traded within our society? If you walk down Nairobi River, you will find all sorts of effluent that is being sent down such a beautiful river. The authorities such as the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) seem to be content with issuing warnings today, then after a visitation the following morning, or when they realize that there is not much attention on the particular issue by the media, they sweep it under the carpet. Madam Deputy Speaker, this is really unfortunate. This is a matter that I want to encourage - with your approval - the Committee on Health has a holistic look at. A The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
