    "content": "If you have an environmental law, a forest law and at the same time have a cooperative law where cooperatives can be organised to grow trees for forest cover and commercial purposes, then it becomes better to mobilise the people to make sure that tree planting takes place. In cases where the trees need to be watered, then you have an organised team to make sure that the trees grow. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I emphasise that we will be best if we do seedlings appropriate to a climate area and conserve the trust lands so that the natural bushes or trees can be allowed to grow to make sure also that area is covered. I believe through this very important law, we are going to conserve our environment, improve the climate of the world, deal with the poisoning of the climate by carbons, slow the speed of wind and make sure that rains come back to areas they have abandoned. This is because the clouds will simply be swept quickly by the winds since the trees are the ones that slow the winds and increase rainfall. That goes on to improve the ecosystem. Therefore, availability of water is important. We need to build dams like Thwake Dam, silted dams and porous dams and building gabions to make sure water is available so that trees are planted. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the Bill and congratulate the Senator for Garissa County. I hope that this will apply in the harsh climates like his and my county and will increase the tree coverage of the country. I thank you."
