Fatuma Jehow","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this issue of climate change. I would like to applaud the Chairman for doing a good job. I rise to ask a question regarding this member who has been rejected by the Committee. Madam Umra Omar, from where I sit, represents the pastoralist community. I have just gone through the Report and we have been told that she is not qualified. Madam Omar has very good papers according to the Report. She has a Master’s Degree in Arts, Social Justice, and Inter-Cultural Relations. She also has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology. She also has good experience. Omar is the founder and Chairperson of the Board of Safari Doctors, Lamu. I am not known to her, but I am just asking. She is representing the many people from the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs), just like the Hon. Member has said. Rejecting Omar feels like rejecting the pastoralists’ communities."}
