    "content": "Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to support the Motion because as far as we know, Dandora has very many less fortunate and there is even a high level of poverty. The garbage is actually being put in that area and yet we have so many people living there. So, there is no adequate sewerage system and the one that is there is consisting of feaces and even the urine end up in the river which people use. So, that is actually creating health and environment risks and urine that seeps into the soil also kills the plants that are there because of uric acid; even the air pollution that comes from the garbage. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at like the United Kingdom (UK), they have a better system that they are using on the garbage disposal. If you look at other countries, besides UK, we also have New Zealand where they have put levies on the garbage and waste disposal. If we can also get a better way of how we can dispose of garbage, our country will not lose so many people through respiratory diseases. In the UK they have a facility that has an environmental permit that allows those who manage the garbage. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would wish we get a way of disposing plastics and glass so that we can recycle it, then we shall create jobs for our youth and put measures in place so that we do not expose our people to risk. I would request that we look for a way through which we can form a committee which can do research and find better ways of waste disposal. Thank you so much."
