    "content": "Member of Parliament and to serve in the Pan-African Parliament. It is an honour to represent Kenya at the Pan-African Parliament. I am a Member of the Committee on Rural Economy, Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources. I am very grateful to the Chair and the Pan- African Parliament for agreeing to host a Committee consultation on the model law on soil in Nairobi, Kenya. We welcome them all. The model law on soil management for Africa is very important. Very many experts will make presentations. We are hosting the consultation at the PrideInn Azure. It would be nice if Members popped in, especially those in the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock. What is the importance of managing our soil? It is a fact that soil has been contaminated over the years. The many things we have put in the soil have harmed it. They are not giving us the nutritional benefits we need. As the Pan-African Parliament, we come up with model laws in all areas. We bring in the best experts to present to us. Some of those experts will be presenting to the Committee over the next two days. We will be looking at climate change, soil health, and how to pave the way for resilient ecosystems and sustainable development for Africa. We will also look at the Africa Union Legal Policy Framework on Soil Management. We will look at soil management and its impact on food, nutrition, and security. We will explore the United Nations Legal and Policy Frameworks. We will also be looking at proposed laws on soil management, how to domesticate them to our regional standards, genesis processes, and roadmaps."
