    "content": "Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to support this Motion. While we look at the solid waste disposal, we should also look at e-waste because this is one of the biggest crises we are going to experience very soon. So, we must put a policy in place to see how we can dispose of electronic waste from the many gadgets that we are using now. Hon. Deputy Speaker, every production process in this country leads to creation of waste. While this can be harnessed for beneficial use, we know that it has also become a curse as we trade in both plastic and agricultural waste. If you look at places like Kangemi Open Markets and Kiumbuini Market for instance, those market centres choke in agricultural and plastic waste. So, those are some of the things that we lack policy management disposal of those waste. While I propose that we may proceed as follows, we may develop a waste disposal and recycling statutes and policy framework for both individual and county governments so that we can be able to dispose of our waste properly. Secondly, the Government can offer loans to our youth to establish waste recycling plants where they can get some employment from that waste management and disposal. We can also develop a policy framework on energy generation from waste materials. Many countries have done it and they have managed to make use of it. There is also need to separate waste and classify it. Waste is in many forms; plastic, metal, glass and agricultural. If we do this, it will be easy for us to dispose of and it will be better to manage. Sometimes, we fail because we do not plan. If we do proper planning, especially for those who are responsible--- When I look at National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), sometimes, maybe, they are not guiding people properly on how to dispose---"
