    "content": "consultation with the county governments because he has sweeping powers to declare anything as a waste without any consultation with the county governments’ leadership. This being a devolved function, we feel it needs to be amended during the Committee of the whole House. Also, the Bill creates a Waste Management Council whose chairperson is proposed to be the Cabinet Secretary responsible for environment. The proposed chairperson is also in charge of policy direction. As a Committee, we felt that there is need to separate the council chair from the policy making functions because there is an oversight role which is critical. So, the policy function and oversight function need to be separated. We will bring an amendment to that effect during the Committee of the whole House. In addition, we observed that several functions of the Waste Management Council overlap with those of the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). Therefore, we felt that there is need to provide for a platform for consultation between the national and county governments while the technical issues to do with waste management is left to NEMA as the authority charged with environmental management in our country."
