    "content": "I am sorry, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. One of the things we are experiencing is massive deforestation. The forest cover in this country is very low. The population has increased in our country and we are engaging in deforestation. We are, therefore, increasing the problem of climate change. A moment ago we passed a Bill on drought. How do we manage drought? We know that the drought is a result of deforestation. As Members of Parliament we need to educate our masses. We also need to change the policies that we have as far as resettlement of our people is concerned. We should not think that it is only in the forest that we can settle. We can do something else. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, education is vital. Our schools need to know that the problem of climate change is here with us. Look at the fuel we are using. We should be able to empower NEMA so that it goes round to check on the institutions that emit carbon dioxide. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need as Members of Parliament to join hands together and pass this very important Bill."
