"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the weather management authority, this is a straightforward matter. The board is important and it will allow oversight and accountability when running these issues. The Bill essentially tries to provide how the Kenya Meteorological Department shall be. I am happy that Part V of the Bill provides for the Meteorological Training and Research Directorate and the funding of this institution is very critical. We are getting more funds due to climate action and the passing of the Climate Change Act. I want to thank the President because last Friday was National Tree Planting Day. Green energy and climate financing is a push for more funds. I hope in climate financing we shall introduce the Meteorological Training and Research Institute. Therefore, it was not just a holiday in vain. I know Kenyans were happy that it was a Friday and a holiday. As you are aware, the young people in this city and across our major towns disappear through what we call aluta . They disappear like Jesus Christ from Friday until Monday. It is a challenge to Kenyans that we need to plant trees and we were challenged to at least plant 50 trees, so that it is “ kumalo kufinish .” I am happy that Clause 30 has provided for financial provision and it is wealth resourced. The Senator of Makueni will agree with me that the reason why most universities are in the red or technically insolvent is because they do not have resources."
