    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to share what I think is very critical in this country. Garbage in this country has affected the health of our people, not just in Nairobi but also in the major cities of this country. When it rains, waste is washed into the rivers. Millions of people use that water for domestic use, livestock and irrigation, yet it is completely polluted. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion because there are people who are concerned with the health of our people. Apart from making money from waste, following examples in the developed world, where people recycle paper and bottles and re-sell them to the communities--- In Kenya we have the right technology, and we can create employment, particularly for the youth, and save a lot of money that we use on buying fertilizers. This is because we can manufacture fertilizer from the waste. Recycling plants would go a long way in improving the economy of this nation. We should not just install machines in Nairobi, but in all the 47 counties. We should make sure that we have the market, particularly the local market, for the recycled materials in this country. I support the Motion."
