The first one is the Statement that was requested by the Senator of Lamu. The problem facing all the 47 counties in this country is that some governors claim to have about 35 to 36 per cent of money on development. However, if you go to those counties to see what they have done, it is less than five per cent. You will find it written all over, including in the newspapers, that a certain county is using 40, 30, or 15 per cent of the budget on development, but in actual sense, development budget is less than 10 per cent. I am talking specifically about North- Eastern counties. Marsabit County was position one at 36 per cent. I have a Statement in that regard. If you look at what is happening in Marsabit, we are even at six per cent. I support what the Senator of Lamu has brought. I would like the committee concerned, which is the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, to look at development projects in all the 47 counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also contribute to my friend’s Statement, the Senator of Wajir, Sen. Abass Sheikh. Last week, I raised the issue of Kala-azar. When I asked my friend whether he had any issues in Wajir, he said no. Today, he told me that his people are dying. According to him, almost 15 people have died.

If you look at what the Government is trying to do, they are trying to vaccinate animals to a tune of 22 million head of cattle. Why do you spend that money on animals? Why do you not spend that money on people because they are dying? With the Broad- Based Government now, I think we have better eyes, better ears and also better stomachs.

There was a Statement requested by the Senator of Kisumu on viability, sustainability and safety of Ombeyi Dumpsite in Muhoroni Sub-County, Kisumu County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, many times you are very lenient and you allow us to discuss issues as a House and in the committees without your hands in them. I also know your leadership capability sometimes in convening meetings that we refer to as kamukunji in this House to discuss matters of national importance as well as matters that affect the House. This is a crisis Statement. Have you imagined how we deal with waste management in our counties? In Migori County where I come from, there is no dumpsite or any strategy for managing waste. There is no any infrastructure for managing waste where 1.2 million people are living. The kind of diseases that we see emerging in our counties today, including air pollution, consuming crops from sewerages and open defecation and the kind of lifestyle diseases that we face today, are because of lack of waste management. I want you to imagine our hospitals and all our health facilities. Think about the amount of clinical waste from health facilities. Have we ever thought about where clinical wastes go to? If there is clinical waste from any hospital in our counties, where does it go to? Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as you commit this particular Statement to the Committee on Health, I want to prick your conscience to convene this House to have a kamukunji . As a House, it is high time we discussed the issue of waste management in our counties and devised a strategy that calls upon our governors to invest in health matters, the same way we have dealt with the issue of pending bills in the counties.
