    "content": "of seeking the profits and benefits that we pursue for our personal interests, we must appreciate that, to some extent, the extreme end of those factors has negative impact on our lives. Therefore, ratifying these arrangements is important so that all of us, Kenya included, agree and arrive at a point that the things we are doing, the actions we are engaging in and the events we are undertaking shall seek to standardise the releases that will affect our ozone layer. One issue that I would want to bring in from my finance background is the aspect of compliance and audit. The audits that we undertake on our institutions about financials should go beyond looking at the financial audits alone. They should also look at the compliance aspect. This is because we have many agencies that are practising on regulations, but we rarely get the information from those audits as to what measures the entities put in place as part of their goals or objectives. Besides investments being put in place, how much are we restricted? That in your focus on your objectives or on attaining your goals, how much do you care for your neighbour and for your future generation? Kenya as a country coming together with the whole world is of importance. The second reason as to why we have to ratify these amendments is also to look at the capacity that the First World countries have managed to reach. How do we share the information, training and capacity building? How do we ensure that we facilitate the developing countries like Kenya? This is so that we put together a proper structure to ensure the whole world attains the required standards to protect our ozone layer. Also, to cushion ourselves against the challenges that face us like drought, lack of rains and food. For the first time, we have reduced this country to be a net importer of food; the reason being lack of rains. Agriculture that entirely depends on rains is now being affected. We can, therefore, not keep quiet and wait for nature to change. We all need to rise to the occasion. Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
