    "content": "All of us know that the economy of our coastal town, Mombasa, being the gateway to East Africa, competes like no other with other coastal harbours that are trying to catch up. Once we protect this environment, we are guaranteed much more fish and boating games. If our children visit the coast and swim in the ocean, they will not do so in infected waters, but in the very clean waters of the Indian Ocean. It is because of these factors that I urge that this Convention not only be limited to the Indian Ocean, but also covers all our water bodies. We all know that our inland lakes are endangered. Flamingos are moving from their natural habitat because waters in inland lakes are polluted and are dangerous to fauna and flora. I thank the Committee for doing an excellent job. As a lawyer, I know that whenever a treaty is ratified by a country, it automatically becomes law. I am happy that we have not let it loose to operate by way of signatures, the Convention which, by and large, was done by members of our Executive."
