    "content": "Let this be a lesson to the men and the women in this House, our leaders, that sometimes women leaders who stand up in different places, fighting for a course, might be onto something. They might be onto something that will lead to climate change, to a Bill or to an amended Bill, so many years down the lane--- Therefore, I stand to support this amendment Bill. I urge our leaders in this House to emulate the late Wangari Maathai. We do not need to legislate good behavior. They must stand up, sensitize their communities on what carbon credits means and sensitise their communities on what it means to benefit from this amended Bill. You do not need to legislate good behavior; we just need to inculcate the culture of understanding that even the women in leadership might be on to something. It is just the same way that the late Wangari Maathai was called crazy and mad, but today, we are in this House legislating on the roots of the seed that she planted. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill. As we legislate, let us not forget that it is that crazy, mad woman called Wangari Mathaai, who got us to where we are today. Thank you."
