There are many other benefits that can come out and I hope that Members will pass this Bill. With those few remarks, I move and ask Sen. Dullo to second.

Madam Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. This has been a very interesting afternoon. The Bill that we have been canvassing here is the Waste Management Bill.

I agree with Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura, who says that it is a very good and progressive Bill, but we have to put it in a different format.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, so that we move to other Orders, I would like to commend Sen. Pareno who seconded me. I also thank Members who have appreciated this Bill and agreed to pass it.

That is the main aim of this Bill, that they embrace ICT for purposes of profitability. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since many members of the society are involved in SACCOs, it is important as a House that we emphasize that they ...
