    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you go to Kericho, Nandi and Bomet counties, you find expansive farms there. We need to plant trees in those farms in order to improve on carbon credits. When you go to Uasin Gishu County especially Moiben Sub-County where Sen. Mandago aka Jack Ma comes from, you see expansive farms. It is not Jack Ma from China but our local Jack Ma. Moiben is very expansive but you cannot see trees. It behoves such counties to come up with measures of planting trees anywhere. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know Nairobi has the “grabiosis” disease where most of its land has been grabbed. I challenge the Senator for Nairobi to be part of reclaiming those parcels of land and transforming them into forests which are very important. The issue of climate and environment is at the core of our Constitution. I am happy that at this time and age, the President has taken a personal initiative. When we have the blessings of the highest office, things will move. Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, we had those blessings when we were launching the Open Governance Partnerships (OGP). We also had blessings from your office. We thank the Secretariat and Senator colleagues who joined us led by the Senate Minority and Majority Leaders and other House leaderships and representatives. There was even secretarial and catering services. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am happy today because Senators had a wonderful five-star breakfast. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think you should make it your tradition so that our loyalty is absolute. Be making sure that every morning we can have a five-star breakfast. With those many remarks, I support this Motion and hope that we can expedite it. I congratulate the members who have been nominated and are being approved by this House"
