Senators, the salient issues raised in the said Petition are- (i) That the Wajir dumping site was established in 1992. However, at that time, the waste was manageable due to the low population and that the dumping site was far from human settlement; (ii) That waste disposal and management has been highlighted as a major problem in Wajir County. In particular, the residents of Ali Mao Village, have had to bear the brunt of the negative impact of the Wajir disposal site which continues to jeopardize their health and livelihoods; (iii) That the government has been using the dumping site illegally to dump raw medical waste, human and medical waste as well as hazardous materials; (iv) That some of the risks the disposal site is exposing the residents of Wajir county to also include; skin and blood infections resulting from direct contact with water The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
