    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this particular Bill. Matters of climate are very passionate to me. This is because I am one of the advocates. As a business person, I produce biodegradable bags in this country. I pride myself on the discussion on climate change because this is the way to go, not only for us but for the generations that will come after us. I appreciate none other than Hon. Wangari Mathai for the implementation of the Green Belt Movement concerning the advocacy of planting trees. His Excellency the President, as we speak, is also a champion on climate matters. He has also advocated for tree planting in this country through our schools. In this climate change discussion, we urge the schools visiting Parliament today, as they go back, to continue practising tree planting in their schools and homes. I note that as a country, the capital city and the Nairobi delegation, the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) is situated in our beautiful city. It is a positive pride to host this Climate Summit at this particular time. It is a great honour. I also have my Bill on agriculture in regards to extension officers. It comes at a very good time. I look forward to when this Bill will pass. It will be impactful on matters of environment and climate. This is because the extension officers will focus on ensuring that good agricultural practices are put in place both from a digital and technology in place, to ensure that we maximally achieve good agricultural practises. I have heard colleagues mention that it is one thing to plant trees and it is another to maintain that tree to maturity. I believe through the Bill on extension officers, we are going to achieve this broadly. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
