    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise as a Member of this Committee. I thank the able Chairperson and the team that vetted these particular individuals. Like one Member mentioned, the National Climate Change Council is equivalent to the National Security Council. They will make decisions for the country, continent, and the world on matters environment. It is a very sensitive Council. Therefore, anyone nominated to this Council must show the Committee and Members of Parliament that they understand issues to do with the environment in a clear manner. We have a set of individuals who are very capable. For instance, Outa is a qualified lawyer. We have a serious issue with carbon credit in Kenya because of faulty agreements with different entities such that the locals do not benefit. We recently had an issue in Kilifi concerning the Baobab tree. The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) will assist the community to come up with agreements that benefit the community. This Council, headed by the President, will be very key in reviewing and ratifying decisions that have been made and making other decisions, going forward, on matters environment. There are serious plans by the Kenya Kwanza Government on the issue of planting trees; not only planting and adapting trees, but also raising funds with other development partners. Therefore, these are very key people to moving the country forward on matters environment."
