    "content": "Kingpin. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I was saying that we need to move away from current ways of predicting weather occasioned by climate change. We have gone very far in technology and by this satellite-based climate change, we need to see how we are going to put the satellites which are owned by Kenya into space so that we can predict our weather. It should be more predictable and easier to maintain. We should not only approach interventions in that manner. We must consider how to prevent droughts from affecting our people. During El Nino rains, it was unfortunate that we could not harness all the water which goes to waste. This water could be utilised during drought seasons. We are expecting rains soon, hopefully, in the next one or two weeks and we need to put interventions in place to protect our people who suffer from droughts year after year. The animals and the people are suffering. We should look to countries in the Middle East as examples, where despite having dry weather and little rainfall, they are still able to produce the best fruits and vegetables. Therefore, with the interventions proposed by Hon. Haro, I believe we need to move in that direction. We need to upgrade our technology. I think we need to go the way Hon. Haro has proposed regarding the use of satellite technology. This is because we cannot be left in the archaic 1960s while people move to 2200. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I support."
