    "content": "I remember when I was doing my Masters at the university. My thesis was based on factors that contribute towards conservation of our five water towers. In my abstract, I realized how important it is for a nation to rally itself behind a common goal of preservation or conservation of its environment. It came at a time when there was heightened politics around Mau Forest. The champions who shepherded the conservation of Mau Forest from encroachers can now stand with their heads high as a result of what we have seen on global warming. Today, as we speak, six of my schools are still marooned in water, not as a result of the perennial flooding that Nyando Constituency is known for, but because of a backflow from the lake. If this continues, then I am afraid that the lake may, at the end of the day, reclaim much more land putting pressure on already overstretched families. Many children have had to trek for tens of kilometres to access education in other schools. The Ministry, together with my office, is scratching their heads on what need to be done based on permanency and not stop-gap measures. Therefore, I support this, and we need to move with speed and put this Sessional Paper into practice so that we can conserve our environment. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before I finish, because I see the light blinking and I do not know why it has blinked too fast, Hon. Sankok today is donning a red suit which is characteristic of KANU, and I wonder why because he was nominated here on a Jubilee Party. Therefore, he needs to resign as is espoused in the Political Parties Act so that he can face the Jubilee Party again. More able people who are loyal can be brought into this House, Hon. Sankok. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity."
