    "content": "Thank you. At the outset, I support this Bill and I want to commend Hon. Ochieng for a job well done. This shows Kenyans that it is important to nominate and elect young people in this House because they have fresh ideas. What caught my eye in this Bill is the issue of dumping in Kenya. An example is the Ministry of Education buying computers and bringing them here in Kenya. This is one of the areas that the agency needs to focus on because we have very old computers being brought to Kenya in the name of donations to schools. The Agency will help us work on the issue of electronic waste management. Our domestic industries have been endangered. The Agency needs to focus on protecting the domestic industries and grow them. It is unfortunate that, today, we are speaking about unga because Kenyans are starving. Last year and this year, we had low yields of maize and yet we exported the same. The situation has caught up with us and we are now importing maize. It is a sad situation. We are now importing maize from other countries and this is very sad for our nation. Therefore, we need to put controls and measures in place. The ministry in charge would have focused and seen our grain levels were diminishing. It was, therefore, not advisable for this nation to export maize and wait for Kenyans to suffer so that we can import maize."
