    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to start by thanking my good friend and colleague, hon. Dr. Otichilo, for coming up with this Bill. Somebody said he never stopped getting amused. I get amazed all the time because of the energies and efforts hon. Dr. Otichilo puts into all manner of Bills. The climate change is phenomenon that cannot be wished away. It is a phenomenon that is here to stay. It is a phenomenon that we, as a nation, must agree to tackle together or collectively. If destruction that brings about climate change is caused by human activities; it is time to revitalize civic education by the NGOs, the Kenya Government and all of us. Some of the floods we have seen all over the world, in North America, Eastern Europe, Asia, cause a lot of economic destruction. We, as Kenyans, must try to prevent in such destruction by getting back to re-afforestation which we have paid lip service to for a long time. We have destroyed our forests; probably, we are reaping what we sowed by destroying our forests. We must engage in re-afforestation. It is not a joke any more and it is important to support this Bill, especially establishment of the authority to continue educating our people and putting together resources to minimize whatever phenomenon may come about as result of climate change. It is worth repeating that this phenomenon cannot be wished away. It is here to stay and it is for us to manage it. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Bill."
