    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of the Meteorology Bill (Senate Bill No.45 of 2023). The issue of climate change is now a reality. I remember when we had the Africa Climate Summit (ACS) held at the KICC, there was the Nairobi Declaration that came into force on issues of climate change. I am happy that the issue of meteorology is being given the necessary attention, considering that in the past, they have only used circulars and policy directions from the line Ministry. The issue of the environment is dynamic. We have the Environmental Management Coordination Act and the Climate Change Act, which were put in place. The reality of climate change is here with us. This is why many organizations in various countries are refocusing their energy to the dynamic climate change and discussing climate financing. This decade has shown us that the conversation about climate change is becoming a reality, unlike in the past, when we should have taken it more seriously. We send our deepest condolences to many Kenyans who have lost their loved ones. I know more than 228 Kenyans lost their lives since March this year and 72 are still missing as per the official records. This comes in the wake of predictions of weather."
