Temporary Chairman, when I look at the Act and the amendments, while I appreciate the Chairperson, it would have been better if you want to give clarity to scrap. This is so that Kenyans can understand better. The destruction we are experiencing now concerning the metals we put on the roads everywhere is sad, and when you say scrap, it will continue to be a challenge. Please give us more clarity on it so that Kenyans can understand. They know there is a Scrap Metal Act, 2015. Clarity on what?"},{"id":1496357,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1496357/?format=json","text_counter":319,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Kimani Ichung’wah","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. To make it clear to Hon. Elachi, the definition of 'scrap metal' is already contained in the Act. What the Chairperson is trying to do is to delete the word 'used automobile.' For instance, you will discover that in almost all parking yards in Government offices, there are used automobiles. Therefore, if you use 'used automobile' as scrap metal, people will go and park cars today and tomorrow, and they will sell them as scrap. That is why the definition of scrap metal as 'used automobile' is being deleted, and the word \"discarded\" is now being used. A discarded automobile that is not in use. Otherwise, if you say a used automobile, even my car, having come in second-hand from Japan, is a used automobile. Somebody might just declare it a scrap metal and sell it as scrap metal. Therefore, that was a clarity of that definition. Two, Hon. Temporary Chairman, it is also good to include the exact definition of what constitutes platinoid groups as the Chairperson has enumerated. If you look at the import of many of these amendments and those who sit in the House Business Committee, including yourself, Hon. Chairman, you will remember that just this afternoon, Hon. Chepkonga raised the issue of copper. We indicated that there was a Bill that was limiting who would trade in scrap metal relating to copper and aluminium. These amendments are n these Miscellaneous Statutes. Protecting our transformers and other installations, including road rail guards made from aluminium, will now be possible. People vandalise this critical Government infrastructure, including transformers. This afternoon, Hon. Chepkonga was just speaking about how our constituents are suffering from transformers that have been vandalised, largely because people are looking for copper windings that are inside those transformers to sell as scrap metal. Therefore, with the enactment of this legislation, it will now be possible to protect even our transformers and other critical infrastructure. I, therefore, support those amendments."},{"id":1496359,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1496359/?format=json","text_counter":321,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
