    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, I appreciate my colleague, Sen. Irungu for bringing up this Petition which has in fact ignited a debate bigger than its content. The big question here is: “Are our counties autonomous and can they operate in isolation?”. The answer is; no. In Kakamega, we get water from Nandi County and supply the same to Busia County after processing it. Therefore, we cannot operate autonomously as county governments. I would like to urge my friend, Sen. Kang'ata, to be creative with the waste that is being dumped in Murang’a County. Murang’a County is the food basket in Kenya since it is agricultural. If you converted the waste into manure, it will be more valuable for you than to take it back to Nairobi. Secondly, I would like to support the Senate Majority Leader who suggested that it is Murang’a that is benefitting more from Nairobi. Therefore, we would even urge Nairobi to transfer the dumping site in Dandora to Murang’a so that the traders of Murang’a can get space to trade in Nairobi. This is because the markets in Nairobi are congested."
