    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the value chain spirit, a sustainable waste management plan is a place. We can also employ our young people in the material recovery facilities in the recycling processes that some of the companies are demonstrating right in this city. We can turn our waste into wealth by organising our youth who live around dumpsites in cooperatives. If you look at the Dandora Dump site, for example, we have had serious attempts to deal with it. However, there has been no comprehensive approach to it yet. We know it has been demonstrated in other jurisdictions, that, indeed, we can turn the waste in Dandora into energy. Nairobi can have a sufficient supply of energy from Dandora and we reduce, or get rid of that waste and turn it into wealth and employment creation for our youth. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senate Majority Leader wants me to give a date as to when we are going to actualise this. However, I want to request this House that I have a session when I come up with the specific strategies that we have, with specific action points that we are taking from the sustainable waste management aspect of our priorities, which includes the clean-up and dealing with the pollution of our water sources. I thank you."
