    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Let me take this opportunity first to thank all the Senators who have contributed and to appreciate them for the many ideas and suggestions that they have given to the Bill. When I came up with this Bill, it was an attempt to correct something that was already missing in the environmental law by introducing vegetation in arid and semi-arid areas. In no way did this Bill intend to alienate any of the other regions. The other regions had already been covered in the existing Bill. As Senators, we went to Mandera. I think I was privileged to have in attendance Sen. Sifuna, Sen. Onyonka, Sen. Eddie Oketch, and the other Senators. We saw for ourselves that vegetating an arid or semi-arid area is something that is very much doable. Mandera has been able to do it. You can imagine that in Mandera, temperatures usually soar up to the height of 40 degrees centigrade and when the wind blows, it feels like you are in a microwave. Sen. Ali Roba, who was the Governor at that time, initiated a program to vegetate Mandera. Ten years later, the trees have grown and they act as a buffer to the hot winds, ensuring that the people of Mandera do not suffer from heat waves."
