    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank hon. Gakuya for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. For those who do not know, Kisii County has the highest reproduction rate in this country. Therefore, the population density is very high. Therefore, the release of sewage is very high. This Motion has come at the right time. We should put in place mechanisms to dispose of our garbage and sewage. We cannot prevent the wheel which has already been invented. I would ask members of the Nairobi County Government to visit Melbourne in Australia where they collect their garbage and sewage and generate electricity from it. They also manufacture fertilizer from the garbage and produce new plastics out of the plastic waste. In every part of this country, for example, Kisumu, there is a lot of garbage and raw sewage flowing into the lake to the extent that hyacinth has found a fertile ground to grow in. We have been fighting this and you will remember our retired Prime Minister spent five years trying to get rid of the hyacinth in Lake Victoria and he was not able to do it because of the sewage that is flowing into that lake. Hon. Mbadi cannot take a boat from Kisumu to Homa Bay, where he comes from, because of the sewage. The whole place is full of sewage. So, we need to have systems in place to handle the issue of garbage and sewage in the country. With those remarks, I beg to support."
