Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are many benefits of having efficient and sustainable waste management but before I go into that, I just want to bring to your attention that very recently, CNN aired a feature story where in one of the island nations, there was an amazing amount of waste in terms of bottles and other things. This impact of such waste on the health and wellbeing of the people is so much. Some waste can cause cancers. Indeed, during one of the times we visited Hong Kong as a Committee of Parliament, I was shocked because I thought it was a cloudy day but what was there was gas that made it impossible for us to even breathe well. They started using masks way before COVID-19. I would not be shocked to find ailments like COVID- 19 emanating from poor waste management. One of the benefits of efficient waste management is that it moves the country towards realisation of the Zero Waste Principle. This will ensure that waste is separated at source, appropriately collected and transported, recycled and the remaining waste moved to a secure sanitary land field."
