    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware of the deteriorating state of Dandora Dumpsite, which has caused so many respiratory diseases to residents of Dandora and the neighbouring areas, according to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Study Report on Environment Pollution Impact on Public Health. (b) My Ministry is coordinating efforts of the Government and UN agencies led by UNEP to deal, in a comprehensive manner, with the issue of solid waste management and the Nairobi River Basin Programme of Action. The programme addresses, in a holistic approach, the entire environmental management issues of the Nairobi River Basin, including the Dandora Dumpsite. That programme of action has proposed eleven interventions to be undertaken to rehabilitate and restore nine rivers in Nairobi. The major intervention is the integrated solid waste management system, which includes the decommissioning of the Dandora Dumpsite and commissioning of the Ruai Sanitary Landfill. A dumpsite is also to be established at Kariobangi as a waste sorting out centre. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
