    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, both of us are doing something. Let me register my appreciation to the Mover of this Motion. We, as the Government, are doing everything possible to ensure that our people live in a good atmosphere. We have collective responsibility on this. We need to come up with legislation on this issue. When we talk about the effects of global warming and climate change in Kenya, this is also happening to our neighbouring countries, namely, Tanzania, Uganda and other countries in the world. Let us deal with the world through the treaties, protocols and conventions, so that when we enact legislation, then it will be in line with similar legislations in other countries. We should move together. I want to repeat that next week we will be in Doha. If we call upon the Attorney-General to bring a Bill to the House, then we will be moving very fast. But this will not be in the interests of the world. A solution should be found. We are suffering. It is not only Kenya that is suffering, but the whole world is. The world should take action collectively. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the domestic environmental problems, the Ministry is doing its best to see that they are addressed. We held a meeting on Monday to discuss evaporation and the other problems in the Lake Victoria Region. We are addressing the problem. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the rain towers, the Government has moved in and we are taking the appropriate action. This is a very serious issue. The Mover and the Seconder of this Motion understand the problem. Let us work together. I would like to hear more from the Mover. I have made the Government's position on this issue known. With those few remarks, I beg to oppose the Motion."
