    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to reply. As I do, I thank all the Senators who have contributed. I thank Sen. (Dr) Musuruve for seconding me and for being very passionate about everything education. This is education that will make sure the a resilient future for this nation. That future will look at what is affecting us and also has a bearing on the existential question of if we going to be there even. Forget about the economies, employment and so on. If we are going to self-destruct, no matter who causes, two wrongs do not make a right. I thank her for making sure that she, with her passion for education, has seconded this Motion. I take note of her mention of the KICD involvement, as well as universities and other intuitions of higher learning to ensure that this becomes a holistic approach to doing things. It will not just be something that we do on one side of education. That has been alluded to by Sen. Kavindu Muthama as well. She also said that it should be at all levels. Precisely, that is what the Motion is about. We will make sure that at all levels, including ECDE level, we are linking climate change education. Sen. Kavindu Muthama also linked climate education to agricultural activities and productivity. Farmers will be equipped with the necessary information and skills to mitigate and ensure they are resilient. I also thank Sen. Kang’ata for his alternative view. He has supported the Motion with reservations. While he has every constitutional right, I felt they were a bit misleading in the sense that we are talking about ensuring that our education system is current, modern and equips our children with the modern skills and modern awareness of what is happening to them. That way, they can join and link the line of sight to what perhaps is causing them the pain that they are going through at the moment. For instance, children in Northern Kenya, in Isiolo and Wajir counties, cannot get even the little rain that they used to get. Our pastoralists are wondering why the rangelands are not regenerating at all, even with the same amounts of rainfall. Pastoralists in my county wonder why the water is just running off with everything and they have to lose their animals. This education will make them understand where it is coming from and do something about it. If not, they can at least prepare for it and mitigate against it. They could maybe sell the animals when you see that the rains are not coming. They could sell their animals when the rains do not come. Sen. Kavindu Muthama has just told us the effect of climate change and rainfall patterns in Ukambani. These are real issues. We are not talking about these things"
