    "content": "that will come with proper investment and a legal framework that we are setting up here in the Senate, the losses our livestock farmers suffer currently will be reduced. This is because proper weather patterns will be predicted. People will know it is time to sell so we do not suffer losses. Farmers in crop production will know the kind of crops to plant. We need more climate-adaptive seeds for different seasons. This will be facilitated by proper climate predictions from this society. In short, we need to support this Bill as a Senate because we need a proper legal framework. We need to graduate from the meteorological department from being a mere department of the Kenya Meteorological Society. The Kenya Meteorological Authority will have proper investment from the Government, partners, and donors. It will attract proper partnerships from Africa and outside Africa. We will attract qualified personnel to give us fair and more accurate predictions that will stave off any negative effects on the climate against our people. I urge every Member of the Senate who will speak to this Bill to support what we are doing. We are creating a new legal framework that will enable the meteorological department to transit into the Kenya Meteorological Authority. It will attract all the support, and function as an efficient authority to attract the correct people. Obviously, over time, this will translate into proper weather and climate predictions that will help our farmers in animal and crop production. The farmers will maximize this information by making more profit from their activities. It will also stave off the losses we suffer. I urge all Members who will have an opportunity to speak to it to support the Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to Second."
