    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to comment and ride on the Statement by Sen. Wambua about afforestation and regeneration of our forests. It is a very important Statement given that most of the areas that had a lot of rainfall and water have now dried up. I come from a place called Wundanyi and we used to have springs but now we are seeing desertification. People are being supplied with water using water bowsers. It is a very important Statement and what we will be wanting to see from the Government of Kenya Kwanza is implementation. You can have good programmes and projects but the implementation is the problem. Kenya Kwanza Government estimated that they would plant five billion trees in five years. In that estimation then we would have about one billion trees in one year. Out of 47 counties, planting one billion trees would mean that we would be expecting to have a supply of 100 million trees per county. I am yet to see the 100 million trees in my county. What I would ask the Kenya Kwanza Government is to supply the trees and walk the talk because climate change is real. When you have climate change then the people who are affected are women, children and People with Disability (PWDs). I would like to see the responses that we will get from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources of which I am a Member. I thank you."
