    "content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate you for making it to the Chairperson’s Panel. It is an achievement and I laud you for that. I rise to support this Motion, coming at a time when we have just concluded the conference on climate change in Egypt. I have been very lucky to be raised up in Europe, especially in Greece, Asia and having also travelled to the United States of America (USA) and practically seen what we are speaking about today. When Hon. KJ was moving this Motion, I recalled how I had a moment, during the FIFA World Cup in Russia, where you could step out of your car along the road and drink water under a tree. What a beautiful environment! I rise to support this Motion because I know that if properly implemented, we are going to have a beautiful country called Kenya. I do not need to highlight the importance of trees. Trees give us oxygen. When you are traveling and breathing clean air, your journey appears short and interesting. Trees also store Carbon (IV) Oxide, which we breathe out, and which is expelled from our motor vehicles. If we plant trees alongside the highways and roads, they will stabilise the environment and improve the drainage system in our country. These are some of the important factors of planting trees. The importance of planting trees are very many that we can talk about, but let me talk about noise pollution. Studies have shown that trees reduce the level of noise pollution. In the advent of urbanisation and industrialisation, if at all we are going to implement what Hon. KJ has introduced on the Floor of the House, we will experience this."
