    "content": "We noted that the Ministry had provided a plan for tarmarking 10,000 kilometres of roads across the country by 2017. What we need from the Cabinet Secretary is an actual statement listing the constituencies which are targeted and showing how much money these roads are allocated. This is still pending. This is one Ministry which has been very co-operative with the Committee but we are following up on this matter. Under the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources, we had a resolution based on a Motion by Hon. James Gakuya on a friendly waste disposal and recycling process. The Committee notes that the Ministry developed a 10-point plan to be used by counties in setting up dump sites and developing recycling plants in order to manage waste more effectively. We have made inspection visits to a number of counties including Kiambu, Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru to appraise ourselves on the actual implementation on the ground of the 10- point plan by the Ministry. We found that the waste management regime in the country is haphazardly managed and without the financial intervention by the Government especially in recycling. Consequently, the Committee has made study tours to Japan, Australia and Austria to learn how developed countries have turned waste into money through recycling. We have shared the findings of these visits with the Ministry of Environment and we are awaiting a report on the recommendations contained therein from the Cabinet Secretary. After that we will organise for a stakeholders’ forum to follow up on the implementation as well as to share these findings."
