    "content": "The Committee further recommends that the policy be reviewed to align with recent legislative changes in waste management, ensuring consistency in definitions and terminology, such as the term \"sanitation\". Clarity on the roles and responsibilities of the national Government, the county governments and other stakeholders is essential. Paragraphs 6 and 7 of the policy refer to an annual multi-stakeholder review forum coordinated by the Ministry responsible for sanitation. This forum is designed to monitor and evaluate the implementation of policy in accordance with clear national guidelines. The Committee recommends that the Ministry develop these guidelines and regulations, explicitly outlining the mandates of county governments and relevant agencies to avoid overlaps and conflicts in the implementation of the policy. After a thorough review of Sessional Paper No.7 of 2024 and consideration of submissions from key stakeholders, the Committee recommends approval of the policy, subject to the revisions outlined in Schedule 1 of the Report. When we sat as a Committee, and the Ministry and many stakeholders appeared before us, we realised that over the years, the Government has been focusing on water projects and water distribution but has been disregarding sanitation for a while. That is why, when the Ministry, together with stakeholders, developed this policy, the Committee thought it wise to approve it as a House."
