    "content": "as a registered trade mark, we have to encourage our people to go shopping with kiondos. This will also involve our rural folks to get into this wonderful art of the Kenyan woman. They should do their kiondos and perhaps go to higher levels of production. We should encourage our people to go shopping using traditional bags like our kiondo. I also agree with Mr. C. Kilonzo when he says that we need to separate some of these plastic materials at source. Clearly, he has done his research. As I said, Mr. Michuki only wishes the House to know that the Ministry is currently working on a set of regulations to be able to control this industry. His only concern is that Mr. C. Kilonzo is proposing to come up with a sledge hammer as opposed to perhaps using the regulations. This problem is visible enough. It is a menace in this country and we need to deal with it once and for all. Once we come up with this proposed Bill, the regulations contained therein will also be the type of regulations the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources is thinking about. I can see some common ground, where they will all have to agree at some stage on the way forward. Therefore, we wholeheartedly, as a Government, support this Bill."
