"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have listened to the Member for Funyula and Hon. Chairman. We are talking about the harmful waste in this country. You do not have to be taken around for you to do anything. You and I see a lot of harmful waste where we stay. I thank Hon. Chairman for coming up with this convention. I want it to be implemented immediately. Firstly, we have suffered because of the side effects of the waste that comes into this country. We do not have the mechanism and knowledge to recycle and make it useful. Once this waste comes to this country, it is just dumped at the Dandora Dump Site. Our boys and girls go there to remove things from that wastage which is very harmful. I know of a neighbour who has a cousin there. His hands are frozen for handling the waste with bare hands. I can prove that. We need to move with speed to implement this convention so that we can do what is supposed to be done. We have been experiencing droughts recently. I come from Trans-Nzoia County and there was drought there too. It is just common sense that we should move fast to sign this convention. I am happy because it has come at this time. I ask this House to approve it without any reservation. Some of the waste that comes from developed countries is useless. You can only use it for a short period of time and then it goes to waste. You dump it, buy another one, and then the cycle continues. You find yourself having useless gadgets. This convention has come at the right time. This House should look at the environment and approve it, so that we can move forward. His Excellency the President is the Chairman of… Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion without reservations and ask my colleagues not to bring in issues that are not helping our country. If someone comes from upcountry, we will take him to the dumpsite to see that we have a problem. Therefore, I support the Motion."
