    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank hon. C. Kilonzo, who is the Mover of this Motion, for bringing it because of the importance of this subject. Environment is very key particularly at this time in the world because a lot of things that human beings have been doing have been interfering with the ecosystem and threatening the continued existence of human beings. One of the challenges of the 21st Century is to ensure sustained development. In that agenda, the environment plays a very significant role. It is, therefore, incumbent upon us to move with speed and ensure that this Motion is passed. I am happy that both the Government and the Backbenchers are supporting the Motion. This a matter that affects everybody across the board. It is, therefore, important that this matter be given priority. From the look of things, it may have to involve a number of Ministries. I heard the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation, Mrs. Mugo, talk about it. This is an important matter in terms of public health, as much as it is equally important to the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources. The matter is equally important to the Ministry of Planning and National Development and Vision Twenty Thirty. By all means, the Planning Ministry should take into account all issues that affect our environment. Without addressing the issue of environment, the Vision 2030 may not work at all. In my view, the Leader of Government Business in this House and the Prime Minister must take every interest in this matter. It is a multi-disciplinary, multi-departmental and multi-facetted issue, which must be addressed comprehensively. Everything we do has an impact on the environment. It is, therefore, high time that we looked at the issue of the environment very closely. The matter of disposal should be taken into account. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
