    "content": "mum who was actually illiterate was able to predict when the rains would come and when they would end. Based on such predictions, she would actually prepare her farm and plant. These days it has almost become impossible to know when the rains are coming and when they would end. Most of our farmers now are relying on information by the Meteorological Department. If they are not able to get that information they will not be able to harvest anything and then we will start complaining that we do not have food. When, still, I was a young man there is a resting place we used to go and we could see Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya. We used to see glaciers. These days, when you look at those mountains you will hardly see anything. This is associated with climate change. The proposal to have a council is a wise one. This is because through this council the country will be able to co-ordinate all activities relating to climate change from a central place. Anybody doing any work on climate change in this country will be able to know the direction to take. Most of the work on climate change is being done by Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in uncoordinated manner. I think when this legal framework is in place, it will facilitate proper co-ordination of all activities related to climate change. Part III of the Bill talks about climate change, response measures and actions. This means that it is very clear on what needs to be done. I like the proposal on financial provisions. This is because most times there is no funding. With this law in place we can be sure that climate change activities will be fully funded and they will have Government support."
