    "content": "I believe that scrap metal is part of this waste. Our country has had a very good way of consuming this particular waste by, say, crushing them for other good use. It is very unfortunate that a month or two ago, the President gave an order that scrap metal should not be sold and that no one should be collecting them. This is one of the business areas from which people get income to meet the expenditures in their homes and for paying fees. This goes to the people who are misadvising the President: No one can advise the President to ban scrap metal dealings, which is a business that has so many people depending on it. No sane person can advise the President to do that. It is not because we have been told that there are some metals from Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) being sold. We should chase the thieves. We should arrest the people who are vandalising the KPLC infrastructure. We should not punish the families which rely on scrap metals. Scrap metal is also part of the waste that can be put to good use. The proposed Council should look into ways of making use of scrap metal to benefit the society. We should also do the same with other waste materials disposed into our environment."
