    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is an extremely important Bill because environment is quickly gaining its rightful place in the global conversation on how to take care of our environment. There is no bigger conversation in the world right now I can imagine that attracts more attention than the management of our environment. We continue to face many challenges as a country because of how we have treated these subjects with either contempt or lack of serious significance not knowing fully the effects of the ever-changing environment due to poor management. This Bill wants to amend the Forest Conservation and Management Act so as to make further provisions for afforestation and reafforestation in Kenya in order to promote tree planting in all counties to amend the Climate Change Act as well so that it provides for the setting and formulation of strategies to achieve the annual carbon sequestration targets and connected purposes; two very important topics. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you will recall that the President has led the country in a rallying call to try and achieve the planting of 15 billion trees by the year 2030. Previously, I have seen updates from the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry but of late I do not know how well we are doing. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
