"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate my brother, hon. Simba, for being on the hot seat. Those of us who came to Nairobi some years back know that it was referred to as the âgreen city in the sunâ. Something somewhere has gone wrong. The by-laws in this city are violated, and that is why when you go round the streets you see a lot of litter. I believe that now that we have the Nairobi County in place we will make Nairobi an example to other cities. If you go to Mombasa you will see a lot of garbage all over. In my own county, Kitale has a lot of garbage strewn around. This Motion is timely. By setting up a recycling plant, Nairobi will take the lead and other towns will follow. The late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere used to say that instead of going to London one should just visit Nairobi. This, he used to say because Nairobi at that time was comparable to London! At present, if you go to a place like Dandora during the rainy season you will not bear the stench there. You will, in fact, sympathize with the people living there. Let us have Nairobi as the first city in the country to have a plant to recycle waste. That way Nairobi will reclaim its lost glory of being the green city in the sun. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Kenyans are very innovative. Recently I saw on television someone in Kibera turning human waste into cooking gas. Kenya has some of the best brains and Kenyans could benefit from such initiatives. This kind of energy will help our people. Reinforcement of by-laws is a must for us to keep our cities clean. I beg to support the Motion."
