    "content": "just throws the bottle wherever they are – whether they are walking on the road, driving or riding. So, you find plastic papers and bottles littered all over. After this Motion, we need a law. In European countries or America, if one throws an empty bottle, rubbish or even leftovers, he or she is liable to charges. Here in Kenya, we throw away anything anywhere and that is why our environment is littered. We are prone to diseases which are as a result of dirty environment like cholera and diarrhoea. Such diseases are history in some developed countries because their environment is clean. The Nairobi River water flows but what it carries is pathetic. It carries all kinds of things which bring about waterborne diseases. This Motion is timely. I support the fact that a day has been set aside where everybody will be involved. In Rwanda, on the very day they have set aside for cleaning the environment, everybody comes out and cleans, including the President. If this is done in Kenya, it will go a long way in sensitizing the people. Let it not be a joke. We should not find certain towns like Thika, Meru, Taita Taveta or Voi setting aside a cleaning day and remembering it after three or four years. A rule should be made that if one litters or throws garbage anywhere, for example a banana peel on the road, that person should be held responsible. The other day, I was in America and saw an old man walking around with his dog. As he was walking on the street, the dog stood and defecated on the road"
