"content": "Finally, time has come and it is good to have leaders who can make firm decisions like President Kagame of Rwanda. We do not have plastics in Rwanda even at the border of Rwanda. If you have plastics, you leave it wherever you have come from. It does not enter their country. We have talked about this issue of plastics. I remember the days of Prof. Wangari Maathai and it is an issue that is with us. I do not know why we cannot take those bold strong steps to ban plastics in this country. Why is it an issue that keeps going back and forth and yet, we know the dangers of plastics? Why can we not take those bold moves to do some of these things? I do not know why we cannot do it. That is an issue and we are sending a plea to the Government of the day; they will be remembered if they can take some of these bold steps and ban plastics in this country so that we can move forward. Otherwise, I would like to say that I support and urge Hon. Ottichilo--- Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as you know, in the next election, Hon. Ottichilo is likely to be the Governor of Vihiga County. I pray for him. I can see his brother on the other side is not very comfortable because he would also want to be the Governor of Vihiga County. But those are politics of Vihiga. I pray for him because he has come up with Motions and Bills that deal with the environment. I would like to commend him for that and wish him well so that the next time we meet, I will be calling him “His Excellency the Governor.” Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the time. I support."
