"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to also support the ratification of the Bamako Convention. I do not know what people in the western countries think of us. They like sending to us waste materials in form of second-hand goods. They sell to us second-hand phones, computers, scanners and so many other things. They know very well that by the time the items leave their country, they are waste. They do not know where to dispose that waste. The best they know is to dump the waste in Africa. There is a dumping site called Kang’oki in my constituency. They do not dump there during the day but at night. In the morning, you find a lot of waste material. You do not know who dumped it there, where it came from and what it is for. People start getting sick from unknown diseases. Those who dump the wastes have their cartels in the country that guide them on where and when to dump. This convention is timely and on point. We need to ratify it immediately in order to protect our own country. Electronic gadgets are very acidic and poisonous to both the soil and human beings. The dumpsites are also used for other bad purposes. When someone is killed somewhere, their body is dumped at such dumpsites. The killers know that it will take time before people go to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
