    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the petitioners have tried all other methods to try to have this matter settled, but all those efforts have not been fruitful. They therefore pray that;- (a) The Senate intervenes to ensure the said sanitary landfill project is halted pending consultations; (b) The Senate intervenes to ensure that an appropriate safety audit is undertaken on the said project to guide the implementation and the effects of the project thereafter; (c) The Senate intervenes to ensure that a fresh public participation exercise is conducted by the relevant Government agency to enable residents to fully understand the implications of the project; and finally, (d) The Senate takes the necessary action to gather evidence and ascertain the lack of or viability of the project; and, if that is ascertained, then engage the relevant Government agency to ensure cancellation or relocation of the project. Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to express what the people of Murang’a County are feeling. Ninety per cent of the water consumed here and by the people of Nairobi County comes from Murang’a County. But the ‘thank you’ we get from the people of Nairobi County is giving us their waste. We give them water for free but instead of them thanking us, they are giving us waste. We are very unhappy with this project that intends to bring all the waste – from Dandora dumpsite in Nairobi and Machakos – and relocate it to Murang’a County."
