    "content": "Do we have students who are engaged in meteorological studies? I visited the Kenya Meteorological Department last week. I realised that we have very few students engaged in this course. I plead with the Form 4 leavers to look at their grades and find out if they can pursue courses in meteorology. The Institute for Meteorological Training and Research (IMTR) is near Dagoretti Corner. We need more meteorologists now than ever before. As we engage with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and make legislation, we should take care of the environment. We are planting trees but we need to find out the correct types. We need technology to understand the trees that can be planted in Nairobi or dry areas. There was debate about cotton in the morning. It is also part of tree planting because it can help in mitigating soil erosion in dry areas. Finally, it is important to have technology, but it must be one that is easy to adapt and impact our lives in a better way. We should not have technology that we will not understand or one which cannot adapt with the climate that we have within Africa. There are regions that are within the equator. We must use experts to help us understand the climate. We should also encourage our young people to embrace technology and be part of it. I know we will have good monitoring policies that can help our country to appreciate climate change. We also need to take care of the environment."
