    "content": "We wish to make the following recommendations: One, that the funds to be allocated to NEMA be enhanced to enable it to carry out its mandate. It has lost considerable funds through reduction in A-in-A, as we said earlier. We also wish to recommend that this being the Ministry charged with the responsibility of protection of catchment areas and dealing particularly with climate change, that funds should be allocated on this issue to educate our people and create awareness as a matter of priority. We notice that a lot of times, the issue of education has been left to the media to pick up and report to the people. We feel that sufficient civic competence in this area needs to be maintained, so that our people know what it is that awaits them. We know that there has been shortage of water. We know that we have abused our environment but I think we also need to realize that there has been a population explosion. The population in Kenya has not exactly helped on this matter. We have more people with an economy that has not grown proportionate to the population that we now have. We also have global climate change issues that go beyond our boundaries. There are issues legitimately that our people need to be educated on. So, we are asking the Ministry to enhance this capacity in our people so that they know the dangers and are informed of what climate issues are."
