"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Petition. Wajir is a special county which experiences cholera outbreaks very often because of the low water table. There is even a joke that if you go to Wajir by road, to know that you have arrived, there is a certain smell that you get. That is because of the low water table and the poor waste disposal thereof. This issue is not new to this House. During the previous session, Sen. Kihika brought a Motion which had good recommendations on waste management. If those recommendations were looked into, we would have helped not only Wajir County but other counties as well. Perhaps this begs the question whether or not we should return the Implementation Committee because some of these issues would have been dealt with and we would not be having repeat Statements and Motions on the same issue. There are regulations for medical waste management in this country but why are counties not following them? 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."
