    "content": "only meant that this should be the centre where international conferences on environmental issues are held, but that also Kenya was supposed to be a model country. People were coming internationally to see what the UNEP has done in Kenya. We could showcase what we had done as a member of UNEP. Unfortunately, we did not succeed. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is through Her Excellency, the great leader of this country, Madam Wangari Maathai whose efforts saved Karura Forest, Uhuru Park and many other environmental areas that were supposed to be saved. The reality is that the Bill that has been brought by our brother here is a wonderful. I agree with you. Hon. Sen. Abdul Haji, what we need to add on just like other countries and based on the international best practice is having environmental police. These are individuals who do not carry guns. They are given regions and vehicles which they use to inspect. These can be deposed at the county governments or at the sub-counties like one of my colleagues has talked about. Sen. Abdul Haji, if there is a way we can start discussing what has been happening in terms of our education on matters environment. You notice the issue of carbon credits has come recently. I am sure that the university has not been emphasizing deeply and discussing that science and what it means to our environmental protection and support."
