    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the cartels, having been a Member of Parliament in Nairobi, I know that it is a major problem because many people look at it as their daily bread; it is a business. They do not see the side of diseases, the problem of cleaning the environment and, therefore, we need some kind of education for our people. Let us also include education alongside regulations, because unless the people understand the importance of a clean environment, it does not matter how many regulations we put in place; they will not obey them. So, the people need to understand this. The counties must also develop a way that they will work with those people; not make it hazardous for the public, but to get benefits which do not bring diseases. I believe we can build big plants for waste management, like other countries do, and the country will benefit economically and it will use those people who are now getting their livelihoods from there to organize whatever needs to be organized, because when we recycle this waste, we know it becomes money now, and the county will get rich, and those people will also find jobs to do. So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to call upon all the stakeholders – the different Ministries of Environment, Water and Natural Resources, Health, Devolution and Planning – all those line Ministries should, maybe, come up with a task force to address this problem. That task force should work closely with our Committee which deals with the environment, which I believe is the one which will address this issue so that we do not just address this problem here, but we really see something coming out of it; something that will change how we deal with waste management. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to support."
