    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As the distinguished Senator for Kericho County has said, that Petition from a resident of Wajir County would pass for a petition from every county. It is not like the petitioner is calling upon us to legislate that there is absence of law. We have the Environmental Management and Co- ordination Act (EMCA) and the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). The NEMA is immensely empowered to protect the environment and stop people from constructing on riparian land, stop dumping and make sure the environment is safe. We saw a move in the right direction by banning the single use plastics. If you listen to that Petition carefully, it tells a lot of things. The Petitioner is even appearing to say that there is raw human waste being dumped on the dumpsite. How human waste is finding its way on a dumpsite is a question that the Committee must thoroughly investigate. More important, there is sufficient technology on the market. How do cities like Shanghai with 25 million people manage their solid waste? How do 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."
