    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance. Allow me to comment on Sen. Lemaletian's Statement on the environment. We should take responsibility as Kenyans to ensure we live in a clean environment. It is disheartening to see that our surroundings are not well kept. There is dumping of dirt in our environs. We should live in a clean environment to stop the spread of diseases. In December, we went to Rwanda for the East African Parliamentary Games. I was impressed to see how clean Rwanda is. I wondered what went wrong in Kenya so that we cannot live in such a clean environment. We need policies that will ensure that the environment is kept clean and those who are responsible for ensuring that cleaning is done do so properly. As we discuss climate change as a House, we should not concentrate only on planting trees but ensure that our environment is clean. With regard to the disposal of waste in estates and homes, it is discouraging to find that people can dump waste anywhere. We need to develop a culture of cleanliness. Cleanliness is next to godliness. Kenya is godly, and a majority of us are Christians. Why can we not develop this culture from our families in schools, towns and estates to ensure waste disposal is properly managed and we live in a clean environment? It is important that we have proper means and ways of managing our waste. I support the Statement. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
