"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Motion because waste disposal in this country has become an issue of concern. One of the things that contribute to this serious problem in this country is the way garbage collection is being done. In most towns, garbage collection has been left to private companies. Private companies are normally organised when they go to pick up garbage from households. However, immediately they leave the households, they get disorganised. That is why the waste they collect drops off their vehicles as they drive to the dumpsites. When they get to the dumpsites, they do not care how they dump the garbage. So, it is as a result of carelessness that a dumpsite like the one in Dandora has become very expansive. As a result of unplanned dumping, a number of problems arise. For example, there are health challenges related to unplanned dumping of garbage. The people who live around dumpsites experience what is known as âupper respiratory infectionâ because of the environment in which they live. At the same time, most of them suffer from skin diseases because of the kind of emissions from the dumpsites."
