    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to speak on this Statement. Thank you, so much, Senator, for bringing this up. I did not even have an idea, since I had not heard about it before. Thank you for your passion in conservation of the environment. Indeed, you are missed in the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. The other day in our meeting in the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Environment and Forestry was crying how as a House of legislation, we should be trying to push for more and more legislations that can change the mind-set of Kenyans towards their agricultural practices and their normal practices when it comes to environment because of how far we are depleting the environment and some of our great resources. For example, Magadi salt is already affected by siltation because of our practices. To hear the gains that we have so far gained on renewable energy are likely to be reduced by imposition of taxes is a retrogressive move. In fact, when the people who make these decisions sit down, you wonder what they are thinking at a time as a country we have our youth already aligning into these fields of renewable energy. Our universities have set up programs for our youth so that they can tap into this market that has become a global market. The whole world is going into renewable energy. Why are we taking a step back? Sen. Halake, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I support this Statement. Madam Deputy Speaker, do make a ruling so that this issue can be sorted out as soon as possible. Thank you."
