    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. For a moment, I thought the question on sleeping when you are hungry was aimed at me. That aside, I support the Motion. This is a consequence of climate change which manifests itself in various ways. In the North, it manifests itself as drought. In my constituency, we have flooding and water levels that are rising. Yesterday at around 8:00 p.m., I was moving from Mfangano Island to Rusinga Island and almost drowned with my team because of the waters. Two days ago, we lost yet another three people in the lake because of that. I urge the Government that in dealing with this, we should not have sporadic efforts, but should look at the issue holistically as a consequence of climate change. We should deal with the issue of climate change and seek lasting solutions while being realistic about what we are dealing with.
