    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to support this Motion for the development of satellite-based climate change monitoring. The world has gone digital. We, as a country, have been left behind in weather forecasts and the rest. At this time last year, we were told there would be no El Nino. Later on, we found out that there was a lot of El Nino. It made us return to this House and pass a few Bills to ensure that people from certain affected areas got relief food. As you know, most of the time last year, we were told there would be rain, and there was none. Setting up the satellites and going digital will help the Government and farmers prepare enough for planting and harvesting seasons. We had very good weather last year. It made us produce a lot. Our bags of maize moved from 40 million to about 67 million. We will know and organise ourselves if we go digital. The Government will arrange when to give out things like fertiliser because it will know when the rains will come. We will know the harvesting time. It will assist our preparedness in agriculture and other things. Therefore, I am part of this Motion, and we will support it."
