Implementation of the Sustainable Waste Management Act, 2022

Question

I would like to find out from the Cabinet Secretary, whether this Waste Management Council has been established, whether it is working and what it has been able to achieve. Under the Sustainable Waste Management Act, the Cabinet Secretary was also required to bring regulations to the House and was also required to publish model laws for county governments. I want to find out from the Cabinet Secretary, which regulations have been brought to Parliament, whether the Cabinet Secretary has published the model laws and how many counties have been able to successfully implement or enact those laws. Finally, waste is gold in certain jurisdictions... Could the Cabinet Secretary tell us what the policy position of the Government is with regards to conversion of solid waste into energy and the size of the circular economy in Kenya and the challenges that it faces?
