    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Climate Change Bill. I want to congratulate the Committee of hon. (Ms.) Abdalla for the good work that they have done considering the effects that we are all experiencing in our country and globally on the issues of climate change. It is just good that we plan ahead because it seems like times are going to be harder. Particularly right now, we are experiencing a very long drought and our people are going through hard times. For those communities that are particularly pastoralists, it is becoming very hard. So we need intervention measures from the Government and very coordinated efforts in order to help the society manage these difficult times. I just needed to support the efforts of the Committee and seek that the Government will take this seriously because as we go towards 2022, particularly in terms of water resource management, we are told the next global wars will be fought around water resources. To avoid such wars and conflicts, we need to manage our resources well and address the effects of climate change. Among the interventions that I will be asking the Government to do is to consider cushioning the pastoral communities at such times. Right now we need interventions through the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) for our animals to be bought otherwise it will be a loss not just to the pastoralists but to the country economically."
