    "content": "Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. As a parent and a mother, I am very concerned about the dumpsite and actually the waste management in this country. We have a population over 20, 000 living around the dumpsites. Those dumpsites have become sources of money as well as source of death through loss of life. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Nairobi City has a population of around 3.5 million and we do not have any garbage management or recycling plan. I would like to say that we need urgent delivery mechanisms by the Nairobi County Government where there is a safe way of waste management and especially, where we know that the waste from Dandora Dumpsite is affecting the water that we use and the air that we breathe. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we have a lot of diseases that affect the people who live around the dumpsite. It might not be an immediate negative effect on the people as they may not feel it instantly. The results cannot be seen immediately. But the children who are brought up around that area are affected for a life time. So, I would really like to support this Motion. As one of the speakers said, this should become a Bill immediately so that we have waste management plans not only in Nairobi, but also in the 47 counties."
