There are many products which need to be recycled. I remember when I was abroad during games like the World Cup, there used to be a lot of waste. People would drink water and drop plastic bottles. There are companies and supermarkets that buy these wastes. That is how people make money. It is how some of us used to make money as students. This is also how we saved the environment in those countries. We used to collect the used plastics and sell them to supermarkets. The supermarkets would then take them to recycling facilities. So, there would be ...

We should invest or get people to invest in used bottles materials which would otherwise be dumped somewhere. If we allow the proposed Council to access investors who can recycle waste materials, we will save our environment.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the laws should also be stringent on the factories. Most of the factories we have visited dispose of their dirty effluents into the sewage system or even into rivers, which have become poisonous. If we recycled even waste products from factories, they can be useful somewhere else. On this, we must have very stringent rules and bar industry owners from disposing harmful materials into rivers.

I believe that scrap metal is part of this waste. Our country has had a very good way of consuming this particular waste by, say, crushing them for other good use. It is very unfortunate that a month or two ago, the President gave an order that scrap metal should not be sold and that no one should be collecting them. This is one of the business areas from which people get income to meet the expenditures in their homes and for paying fees. This goes to the people who are misadvising the President: No one can advise the President ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to support this particular amendment Bill. We will read through it and see if we can bring further amendments that can go a long way in making our country safe, poison-free and ensure that we have a clean environment. The county governments should be in a position to ensure that the streets and everywhere else within their cities and towns are clean. What makes our towns very dirty are the waste materials that are disposed everywhere. The county governments should also have their rules to ensure that people do not dump waste anywhere. In ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wish also to support Hon. Duale’s amendment. When we talk about the Registrar of Political Parties, it is a body that is only meant to regulate political parties on registrations and all those other matters that concern parties. But, it is not meant to regulate the activities of parties, especially nominations, party elections and all that. That one must be left to the parties themselves to deal with those issues. If we were to indulge or allow the Registrar of Political Parties to run nominations of parties, I think we would be arm-twisting parties and ...
