    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to make a comment on the Statement brought to the House by Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda on the matter of the suitability and safety of Ombeyi dump site in Kisumu County. There is a reason the drafters of the Constitution, in the Fourth Schedule, Part II, assigned the responsibility of removal of dumps and solid waste to county governments. As I thank Sen. (Prof.) Ojienda for coming up with this Statement, it is my considered view that as the Committee retreats to look at this Statement, this matter is weightier than being canvassed in a committee. In my own view, perhaps the Senator would have considered bringing a Motion in this House on this matter. The issue of waste disposal and management in our counties has reached alarming levels. There is this old adage that every waste that has been generated in our country should be recycled for people to get products from the recycled solid waste. However, we refuse to think slightly deeper than that and realise that not every waste is biodegradable. Secondly, we have hospitals, dispensaries and health centres scattered all over our counties and nobody looks into the issue of clinical waste management."
