Murungi","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":2802,"legal_name":"Kathuri Murungi","slug":"kathuri-murungi"},"content":"Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also wish to recognize that you have contributed something in my life because you taught me communication kills at Egerton University way back in 1994. Thank you very much. I rise to support this Motion because solid waste is a menace in this country. The best option would be to campaign for the three “Rs” that we have in environmental management. The first one is reducing waste. The second one is re-using waste. Instead of throwing the waste away, we re-use it; the third one is recycling. We also need to encourage our people to use the products which can be recycled. In order to curb this menace, I would like to urge the Government to come up with incentives to the companies which recycle waste in terms of tax waivers, so that they are encouraged to recycle more."}
