"content": "will have very dry lands and no rivers and wetlands. There shall be no life. We all know that water is life. Kenya largely relies on agriculture to feed communities. Those trees are drying the agricultural land and reducing food production. I support the amendment that has been captured by my good friend, Hon. Irene, so that we can redeem our wetlands and rivers to be as they were before. I come from Vihiga County and we grow the blue gum tree in our area. The eucalyptus tree looks attractive and beautiful. To some extent, it has some medicinal benefits, but they are far much less compared to the water it consumes. COP29 is taking place right now. It is all about global warming and damages that are caused by human beings to the environment. Therefore, eliminating eucalyptus trees and planting bamboo trees will go a long way in maintaining our wetlands and rivers. I support and congratulate the Member for bring this amendment Bill at this point in time. Thank you."
