    "content": "The issue of theft should be dealt with seriously and I am happy with the establishment of the Council. That is because it will have an inclusive set of people who will be able to advise the Cabinet Secretary on what to do with the people participating in the business. We should also be interested in what kind of business those scrap metal dealers are involved in and in the Kenyan situation, it will be important for the Council to widen its scope and even encourage development of artifacts like we see around. From the airport, you are able to see elephants and other wildlife developed from that and that promotes tourism. They can open exhibitions and display art works that are produced from scrap metal. They can pass messages that will enhance our situation of cohesiveness and integration. We have a lot of challenges as a society and we need to use this opportunity of scrap metal not just to do metal work, but also to take care of social integration amongst the people of this country. There is need to indulge the public so that everybody appreciates the importance of metal so that we do not have waste metal thrown all over. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, but one area which is also very important - and I wish it was addressed here - is the movement of scrap metal. That is because every now and again, you find vehicles and trucks carrying scrap metal and the metal is falling off. I have witnessed an incident where a falling metal caused an accident and crushed the windscreen of a motorist. So, there should also be regulation on how that metal should be moved around. In that way, we will do clean business. I am very happy with this Bill. It is useful. It is going to ascertain order in the business of scrap metal and so, I support.
