    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to also weigh in on this Motion despite the technical difficulties with our cards. I wish to thank the Member for bringing this Motion after a successful climate change summit that was held in the country. Climate change has led to adverse problems such as floods and droughts. To address these challenges, we must prioritise investing in technology. Growing up, traditional methods were used to forecast weather patterns. Mr Ayub Shaka's programmes on KBC would forecast the weather patterns for the following day. We now need to develop an Information Technology (IT) policy to ensure that we can effectively and accurately monitor climate change. The Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry is best suited to lead this effort. We need to prioritise investing in IT as it is a top agenda of this Government. It is crucial to develop a policy that encourages investments in IT, and embraces technology, just as we have done in security matters. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion and pray that we develop effective legislation to monitor climate change in the country. Thank you.
