    "content": "We need to pay attention to a number of things. The first is the issue of defecation, although it has been mentioned in this policy. Many people in our country still go to the bush to answer the call of nature. This in itself causes a lot of problems. Sometimes, the places people use for a call of nature are close to water sources, and this contamination ends up in the water. It must be a strong part of the policy that in every marketplace and every town, the county government must provide toilets to the people. That must be the case. We must eradicate open defecation completely. There are some markets I have visited where people ask the Member of Parliament to construct a toilet. If you do not, and the county government has not either, what are people supposed to do about their sanitation? The city or town will be dirty. You will not even find a bush clean enough for goats to eat leaves. This issue is very important. As Kenyans, we have bad habits that we need to get rid of for our country to be clean. If you are driving from Kisii to Nairobi, you must close your window because someone might eat something and throw the litter on your car. If your window is open, it might hit you. Even if it does not, it will hit the ground. If we do not eliminate these bad habits through legislation, it will remain a problem. In some countries, even chewing gum requires a certain level of responsibility because it is biodegradable. Non-biodegradable things ruin the environment."
