    "content": "the course of its processing up to the final stage because it is something we will be making an important contribution as the 12th Parliament towards securing a cleaner environment. The Bill also brings some clarifications in terms of what the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) would do in terms of this and their role in implementation of the National Waste Management Strategy. As I said, the county governments are an integral part of this initiative. They are mandated to look at matters to do with waste management. The Bill now clarifies some of the things that happen to them. They are required to implement some waste management strategies, including providing for central collection centres for the recyclable materials and mainstreaming that management into their county planning and budgeting. So, it is not just one of those other items but would be one of the mainstream planning issues. As I conclude, I wish to underscore the observation of the Committee that this Bill is a progressive legislation which once enacted will enable the country to have a paradigm shift in solid waste management. I could not agree with them more. I note that they have also made some proposals to enrich this Bill through amendments. I look forward to further amendments by other Members of the Committee. With those few remarks, I beg to move and ask Hon. Chachu Ganya to second."
