    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Motion, as has been said by other Members here, is timely. In our country, for far too long, we have relied on traditional forecasting methods, where some look at the stars. Others look at animal intestines to predict weather patterns and whether it will rain or not. This has caused our farmers very serious losses in planting and cattle keeping because they do not know the weather patterns and whether it will rain. We rely on rainfall for our farming and livestock. It is timely to have this technology to salvage our farmers so that when they plant, they can be sure that the rain will be adequate. The livestock keepers will also know if there will be pasture or not so that they can reduce the number of livestock to survive the tough climate change times we are in. We are faced with serious climate change impacts, which is a global phenomenon. The best we can do is to prepare our citizens for such hard climate change times so that they are versed with the changing weather patterns. Unlike before, climate change has made the weather patterns different. In some seasons, it used to rain in March and April, but it now rains in January, an unheard of phenomenon where some of us come from. To cure this, the best thing to do is to embrace technology. The only way we can embrace technology is by supporting this Motion so that we are in a position, as a country, to lead our people more organised with predictable climate patterns. Sometimes, people resolve to live in myth because of a lack of data, technology, and information. When the Cabinet Secretary for Environment comes here, I would like to ask her The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
