    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must put our House in order. This is a very important Bill; its accord us an opportunity to show true bi-partisanship in this House. I would have expected that the Senate Majority Leader would have asked the Senate Minority Leader to second the Bill. In which case, we would have carried the House together. Then after him, the able Senator, the Chairperson of the Land, Environment and Natural Resources Committee would have come to contribute to the Bill. Next time, the Majority Leader calls for a special sitting, then consideration must be given to the Minority side. Having said that, in this Bill, we have an opportunity to make a lot of things right that have gone wrong. I am encouraged that in a few days, the global south, in fact, the entire world would be coming to Kenya. Kenya will be hosting the globe to discuss matters of environment and climate change. This presents us as a leadership in this country to then put our best foot forward and receive the world to discuss climate change issues. While moving this Bill, the Senate Majority Leader referred to a distinction between planting trees and growing trees. I think a time has come, and now is, when all of us, as leaders, must begin to think of viable initiatives that will culminate in every tree that is planted growing to maturity. It is one thing to say that we want to plant 15 billion The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
