    "content": "change. We all understand that this country is going through serious effects of climate change and we are suffering as a result. We have experienced lack of rains for a long period - some regions have gone for a period of four years without rains. Many pastoralists lack pasture for their livestock and this has led to loss of livelihoods. Some parts of this country have been experiencing very high temperatures due to the effects of climate change. I want to congratulate the Committee for the good work that they have done in trying to look at the capacity of the members who have been recommended to be in the Council. We need a lot of experience from the people who are going to guide the Ministry, advise the President, and, generally, guide this country in terms of addressing the effects of climate change. The Chairperson has told us about the capacity of the members they have recommended. As for the one the Committee has declined, they have given the reasons. It was simply because of her inexperience and lack of expertise in the area of concern. And since she was representing the marginalised communities of this country, I would request the Committee that her replacement be done as early as prescribed. I am sure we are going to get other ladies from the marginalised communities who have the requisite experience and expertise. Kindly, take our recommendations and ensure that the replacement is a lady from a pastoralist community. In any case, the one whose name is being proposed for rejection was to represent the interest of the pastoralist community. I support and I thank the Committee for the good work that they have done. They have shown us professionalism. They have followed the law and procedures in arriving at the three nominees. Thank you."
