    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this chance. I join the rest of my colleagues in supporting this Motion. It has been brought jointly by the Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining of the National Assembly; and the Senate Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources. This Joint Committee approved the nomination of three nominees and rejected one. It is important that as a House, we reflect on the importance of the National Climate Change Council (NCCC). Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was woken up by a very beautiful sound this morning. It was something that we have not heard in quite a while and we were beginning to get extremely worried. Most residents of this city woke up to the sound of rain. It was pounding quite heavily and it felt extremely nice because the last few months have been extremely difficult for us, as a country. Those of us who come from the food basket areas have been extremely worried. Going home every weekend, we would be covered in dust. Even the hard crops such as tea that hardly go dry were beginning to turn yellow. Sometimes tea bushes can stay for months without rain but still maintain its green colour. I was increasingly getting worried and wondered what we could do. I reflected on all the conversations that we have had about climate change and getting people to socialize themselves with this concept; and the fact that our environment and the climate in general continues to change. If we do not do something as a human population, then we might turn out to be the cursed generation; the one that left the earth worse than when we found it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, our forefathers did a better job. If you visit many counties, you will realize that we enjoy a very good tree cover courtesy of the good job that was done"
