    "content": "responsibility to take care of trees in their schools. However, of late, you do not see such things happening. I hope as soon as this Bill is passed, we will sensitise the schools, the headmasters, and the principals to bring back that kind of practice where tree planting and management of trees is part of our lives. We must recognise climate change in our country because it looks like it is changing every minute. If we keep pace with that particular change, we can help our country and our counties. We need also to review policies that govern tree planting and climate change to keep pace with the climate change and the happenings in the country, which I believe is in the amendment of the Bill. I hope once we do that, we will be up to date as far as policies and legislation are concerned in climate change. Gender-responsiveness, as indicated in the Bill, is also very important because I am sure, and I am not demeaning the male, but normally responsibilities given to the female as far as management of a particular issue is very important because sometimes you will see men alone planting trees. I think if the gender aspect is taken care of, then we can seriously take action as far as climate change is concerned. Recently, we have been to Mandera. I have seen what the County Government of Mandera has done in greening the county. It has given some budget to women planting and watering trees daily, which is a very serious thing that will help those areas, more specifically the northern part of the country, where there are no trees and the climate is harsh. Implementation of various legislation and policies that is required as far as the law is concerned, just to update ourselves as far as climate change and implementation is concerned. I have seen some trees in our area, more specifically called Mathenge that are causing serious harm in our areas. I curse the person who has introduced Mathenge, especially in Northern Kenya, because it is causing havoc. Animals and human beings are affected. You do not even plant them; you will find them everywhere. They are even dangerous to the kids and also to the animals in our homes. We have to have a serious policy as far as Mathenge is concerned. I have seen in some parts of my county, a place called Merti, where women are given some token to clear Matheng e, which I believe is something that we encourage and also ensure as a Country that we are done with"
