    "content": "Finally, what information are we using in policy formulation in this country? Powered by AI, the satellite-based climate change monitoring system will help inform policy. We should not borrow policies from advanced countries which are totally different from our country. For us to benefit from useful technology, we need to apply appropriate technology in climate change monitoring. There is also a place for international collaboration. If we choose to use the satellite- based climate change monitoring technology, we should partner with other jurisdictions that have either gone ahead of us or are at per with us. My colleague talked about Kenya’s Taifa-1 Satellite Launch. This was a collaborative effort that can be advanced. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would not finish without going back to where I started. We are in the fourth industrial revolution. What data is Africa presenting as systems start to learn how to simulate human intelligence? Do we have data to present out there or are we going to end up as digital plantations condemned to the same plight in the former industrial revolutions? If we do not organise our data, we will become digital plantations, akin to the sugar and cotton plantations and the colonial villages in the colonial era. I thank this Member for bringing such an innovative Motion. I pray that we shall push the ministry responsible to implement this policy. Nothing stops us from coming up with this policy. Let us not wait to get it right before we start. Martin Luther King tells us that we do not have to see the entire staircase. Let us take the first step in faith and adopt the development of a satellite-based climate change monitoring system powered by AI. The future generations will thank us for this. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity. I support."
