    "content": "“You must be like a humming bird whereby the little things you do can sustain the environment. We should not see just the fire. This humming bird uses its beak to pick little water to put off the fire.” She used to say that the environment will never forgive you if you do not conserve it. In line with the Heroes Act, we should rename that forest in remembrance of this hero, Professor Wangari Maathai. I thank the honourable Member. In this country, we are very forgetful of our heroes and Professor Wangari Maathai leads on matters of environment as others follow. We call upon the honourable Members and the relevant committee in charge, the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, to move with speed with this recommendation so that we can rename that forest after Professor Wangari Mathai. We do not want it to look like in Kileleshwa where a road was named after a trade unionist, Atwoli, who has done so much in this country and some crooks went there at night and demolished it. It is good to recognize heroes. When it comes to trade union matters, he has also done his bit and it is important that we must respect heroes. Let the Committee move with speed so that we can rename Karura Forest in the memory of Professor Wangari Maathai. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
