    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to weigh in on this issue of weather predictions and expectations from farmers and many other people, including the aviation industry, who very much depend on the weather predictions and for the safety of travelers, whether on land, sea, air or farmers going around looking after cattle, particularly in the arid and semi-arid regions. I remember when I was negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris during my tenure as the Ambassador for United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). It was quite clear that some of the advanced or developed nations had developed instruments that could predict how the weather patterns would be. In fact, they could give you the weather forecast of the following day. If you cared to look at it, you would realise that it was as it had been predicted. When it came to my country Kenya, I found it very difficult. You could think they were doing guesswork. When they said there would be storms, that is when it turned out to be extremely dry. There could have been limitations on the type of equipment and seismological assessments that determine the movements of both the skies and the land, in order to predict the pattern of the rains or storms. This is within the domain of science and technology that is available. There is transfer of technology and that is why we were partnering with other countries. It is also in the Convention."
