    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what the Senate Minority Leader is looking for from Sen. Korir. Cyclone Freddy then crossed the entire ocean, passing Mauritius and the French island of La Réunion before landing in Madagascar on 21st February; and sweeping over the island before arriving in Mozambique on 24th February. It is sad that it has claimed over 200 lives and affected nearly 600,000 people. Our condolences, sympathies and empathies to the bereaved. I also recognize the bravery and unwavering efforts of the first responders, emergency personnel, and volunteers who have been working round the clock to rescue and assist those affected by the cyclone in the region. They are owed an immense amount of gratitude for their selfless service and sacrifice. These responders are now required more than ever as these natural disasters are increasing in intensity, frequency and impacting our world today. In this, we must also acknowledge the role climate change is having on these extreme weather events like Cyclone Freddy, even as the spouse of our beloved President, Dr. William Samoei Ruto takes charge. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is critical that we act to address the underlying causes of climate change and work towards a sustainable future for our planet. I am happy that we are taking a lead as a country, led by our President and the Cabinet, as the House the other day considered, nominees for appointment to the National Climate Change Council."
