    "content": "comply just about the time they are coming for inspection. We should do instant and random checks so that we reduce these emissions and our people reduce their health bills. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to commend the Minister for the work he is doing on Nairobi River. However, I still do not think it is clean. He needs more money. I sympathize with him because I do not know what it is that he will do to get more money. However, take that route, bring it here and we are going to support you so that we can clean our environment, particularly the Nairobi River which is a big shame. On the issue of waste management, you will find all manner of waste everywhere. Come to my constituency, the Assistant Minister knows that there is one industry which produces rubber and plastics but then it burns them carelessly. Yes, Bata Shoe Company produces very nice shoes. However, look at the people living opposite the factory, they always complain of chest congestion. This affects those in primary schools, secondary schools and even grown ups. When are we going to regulate this? Where is the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA)? Where are these environmental auditors? Let them come and find out and give Members of Parliament the key areas affecting the various constituencies we come from. We can then see whether they are complying. If they are not, they should be made to comply even as they do their business. They should ensure that waste disposal from factories is properly managed. Let me end by talking about the directive to have gum trees cut along river banks. That was a very good directive. However, as a campaign to restore water which has been very strong from the Prime Minister, and which I think the whole Cabinet subscribes to, we need not just ban gum tree along the rivers. I think that tree is not doing any good; it should be banned from being grown in this country forever. With those remarks, I beg to support."
