If such a campaign can be carried out, then it can be good. In the 1960s, the slogan said \"Have brains, eat fish\". Well, I eat fish and I think I have brains. That was a campaign. There was also this campaign of \"Buy Kenyan, promote Kenya\". So, if we can say \"If you knock down a tree, plant at least four\", you will see that rain will be in those areas. The catchment areas will spread and so will hydro-electricity. We have seen this in many places. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I see you are getting restless but thank you very much for giving me a chance to say a few words. We contributed thoroughly on this Bill when we had a chance to meet as the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communications and Public Works. With those remarks, I beg to support."}
