"content": "I am happy because this is the House that ratified this Protocol. This House stands out as one that is very conscious about environment issues. Our President and the Executive have not been left behind. We have been following keenly what His Excellency the President has been doing out there in creating a name for this country as the biggest champion of climate change and what is supposed to be done for the future of our generation. This Motion has come at the right time. If we continue with mismanagement and recklessness in the use of our marine resources, we will have nothing left to the generations that will come after us. The fact that all the countries that surround the Western Indian Ocean area are party to this Treaty is very encouraging. We know very well that we have not benefited fully as a country by being part of the Indian Ocean. There are developed countries that have used our resources because we are a developing country. We have cases where fishing is being done in the Indian Ocean by countries from places as far as China and Japan. We are only left with the ocean to look after without the resources that benefit us."
