    "content": " Hon Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended – (a) by deleting the proposed amendment to the Public Holidays Act (Cap. 110), and substituting therefor the following new amendment – The Public Holidays Act (CAP. 110) Schedule Delete the expression “Utamaduni Day” and substitute therefor the expression “Mazingira Day.” For the benefit of Members, there was a provision to delete Utamaduni Day from the schedule of public holidays. Instead of the deletion, and in recognition of the crusade to save our environment through climate-change mitigation measures, it was the view of the committees that instead of doing away with the public holiday, we rename it to Mazingira Day. Therefore, we are removing the expression \"Utamaduni Day\" and replacing it with the expression \"Mazingira Day.\" This public holiday is now themed around the protection of our environment and climate-change issues. Late last year, we had a day that was designated as a public holiday for tree planting. This will now be such a day. Every year, Kenyans will have the opportunity to plant trees and create awareness around issues of mazingira or the environment."
