    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Members. We will end there. Before I commit the Petition to the Public Petitions Committee, I have listened to you and you are all lamenting, yet you are a House with “teeth”. You cannot and do not act in vain. The Deputy Speaker says that she previously brought a Petition to the House. Those substances were banned in 2006. It is now almost 20 years later. I encourage you to audit the environment in your constituencies and come up with a depository so that action can be taken. If there is asbestos in hospitals, yet hospitals are guarantors of the health of Kenyans, then we are not doing very well. If there is asbestos in schools, utilise the NG-CDF to remove it, bury it and use safer materials in construction so that you help your people. I commit the Petition to the Public Petitions Committee. Ideally, NEMA should explain why we still have these materials in our environment. Leader of the Majority Party, kazi kwako . You should know how to rope in NEMA to carry out a public audit on why we still have these materials in our buildings, schools, hospitals and public institutions. We should consider the possibility of amending the law to impose criminal sanctions on those who still use that material in building construction. Next Order."
