"content": "forest is equivalent to the emissions you are making. It is conmanship at the international level, and this country must be wary. I do hope that if we are going to hold the second Africa Climate Summit, which I am being told might be held in Africa, these are some of the conversations that will be there and that this Parliament will be robustly involved in the conversation at the Africa Climate Summit. It has been good when the chair of that committee at the African Union is the president of the Republic of Kenya. We hope that the numbers and figures we will be taken to the AU, to the Africa Climate Summit, will be numbers that will be verifiable because if you say we have planted a billion trees, it would be a great folly if Kenyans on social media then unpack it and realise that it was all a pack of lies. I will finalise by taking on the call that many Senators have given, that all of us must walk the talk. We are in talks with the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA) for the next rainy season in April to go to Gembe Hills. Gembe Hills is a gazetted forest next to my home village, and in the last National Tree Planting Day, the Cabinet Secretary Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen was there. He led a tree-planting exercise and he challenged KENHA to donate hundreds of thousands of seedlings. I want to assure you and the House that this rainy season in April, I will join KENHA and other players, and I will also mobilise resources through the Kajwang Foundation so that during the rainy season, we go out to the forest and do what Sen. Abdul Haji is calling on the government to do. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I support."
