"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank you and the Mover of this Bill, Sen. Haji, our Temporary Speaker, for this wonderful Bill. The country is geared towards issues of climate change, led by His Excellency the President, who has been a great champion on issues of climate change. Therefore, this amendment is timely. I would like to celebrate Sen. Haji for always pushing for serious agenda. In fact, I am excited to second this Bill because Sen. Haji comes from the northern frontier, where the ravages of climate change continue to be devastating. With the ravaging issues of drought in northern Kenya, we should also be pushing for livestock insurance because we know they are pastoralists. The issue of climate change is close to my heart. Therefore, having Sen. Haji as the champion is more than welcome. “Madam Deputy Speaker, Sir,” secondly, I would like to join you in passing our deepest condolences for losing one of your best content creators from Meru County, Madam Tabitha Gatwiri, who unfortunately passed on today. This is a blow to entertainment industry, and we wish her family well, and the Kenyans who used to get relief, excitement and laughter after a hard day, from her comic relief. Equally, as my brother has said, I would like join the County Assemblies Forum, who have said they will down their tools until the Member of County Assembly (MCA) of Della Anole Ward, in Wajir County, Mhe . Mohammed Hussein is found. In the same spirit, we need to stand with our sister, Sen. Fatuma Dullo, when she says her life has been threatened in the course of duty. As a House, when we retreat, you need to guide us on how we can stand with our colleagues who are facing threats simply for doing their job. “Madam Deputy Speaker, Sir,” let me go to the first bite at the cherry by saying the following: One of the foremost and winners of Nobel Laureates, the late Mhe . (Prof.) Wangari Mathai, is remembered for the fight and ensuring that the then-Kenyan Times could not build headquarters here in Uhuru Park. You can imagine if the development was allowed. When I pass there on Sunday, weekends or weekdays, and even holidays, many families who live in shanties in this City, and do not have a playground for their children, have the opportunity of going there. While we celebrate the work and legacy of Wangari Mathai that lives on through such amendments, we should be excited. I would like to thank His Excellency the President---.
