    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, in addition to the specific areas that have been mentioned – that is Ngulu-Kikumbulyu Ward and Meru County - I think that this House will benefit if we get the policy position on eradication of Asbestos in many of our learning institutions and any other institutions from both the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources as well as the Ministry of Health. I am sure that in my County and across the country, there are very many schools that still have those asbestos roofs. Once we get the policy position and what actions the Ministries are taking to eradicate Asbestos completely across the country especially in public buildings, then we shall be heading somewhere. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.’s Petition was about dumping of asbestos; but on top of that, we should remember that our children are in schools which are roofed by Asbestos. In fact, you will be shocked that in Nairobi County, there are even hospitals whose roofs are made of Asbestos. Note that these hospitals are where people are treated for cancer without knowing that different types of cancer are being caused by the roofs under which these people lie. Let us therefore have a comprehensive answer that looks at the policy direction and the action points by the respective ministries."
