• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: With those remarks Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to second the Bill. view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Sustainable Waste Management Bill (National Assembly Bill No.22 of 2021) by the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. The Bill seeks to establish a legal and institutional framework to promote sustainable waste management, improve the health of all Kenyans and ensure that we have a clean and healthy environment and reduced air, land, water and marine pollution. view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: In the computer world, people say garbage in, garbage out. In terms of waste management, anything you produce must have a waste colour on it. According to the way the Bill is structured, waste management is a key component of any manufacturing or well-being in our society. The Bill seeks to promote and ensure the effective delivery of waste services, create an enabling environment for employment in the green economy and inculcate responsible public behaviour on The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: waste and environment. People are employed in the waste management to collect waste but they are not well taken care of. Therefore, this Bill will compel employers to take care of the employees. Anyone who is employed in this industry shall be taken care of in terms of how he handles waste products. view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: This Bill has also tasked the devolved units to ensure that they provide centres for collection of materials that can be recycled. It affects county governments by ensuring that they provide central collection centres for materials that can be recycled. The Bill talks about the penalties against those who will obstruct the NEMA and even those who will not separate materials in terms of degradable and non-degradable materials. The county governments shall establish waste management infrastructure to promote source segregation, collection, re-use and set up of materials recovery. They will be responsible for implementing the devolved function of waste management ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: This Bill also calls for the establishment of a Waste Management Council, which is a key issue. It shall have an effect in financial management, which is a good thing. It will be chaired by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) of the Ministry of Environment, who will be responsible for coming up with the policy on sustainable waste management in consultation with the county governments and the Government regulations in consultation with NEMA. view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: This Bill enjoins various components of the environment. It brings on board NEMA and the county governments. However, it leaves the Regulation at the apex of the Ministry. This means you can equate this Bill to the Irrigation Bill in agriculture, which we passed at the beginning of this Parliament. The sustainable wastage management policy will be made at the national Government level but it will be equally implemented by the county governments. This is a good Bill that enriches our Constitution in terms of how we can make use of both devolved units and the national establishments by bringing ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: The NEMA shall develop standards and guidelines on sustainable waste management; and generate and disseminate waste information for the public, in consultation with the county governments. Therefore, this Bill will not infringe on the rights of the county governments. Instead, the county governments will use institutions like NEMA to develop policies. This is how to make use of county governments in terms of association between county governments and the national Government. The Authority will also enforce waste management legislation in consultation with the county governments. This is a good thing. This Bill will work well for both the national Government ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: In this Bill, the county governments will establish waste material recovery facilities. We leave the licensing of the materials recovery facilities with NEMA so that we make them uniform. Kenya is for all of us. For example, the waste management practices in Kakamega County should be similar to those in Mombasa County so that in terms of administration, the national policies shall apply across the country. Materials recovery facilities shall be used for final sorting and recycling of waste generated or transported to the country and put the residual waste into a long- term storage or disposal facility. This is ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: This Bill also says that a private sector entity will prepare a three-year waste management plan. This will help us not to have a case like the one which was in this House by the Committee on Implementation and the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. About two months ago, the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources was overseeing the waste management of a company in Industrial Area which has a housing estate. We have just passed that Report by the Committee on Implementation. This Bill compels a private The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
