"content": "26 Wednesday 2nd December, 2015(A) The rights in the Constitution are mere guarantees. For them to be fulfilled, we are required to take a step further and come up with strategies and policies that are actually measurable and can enable us take stock of challenges, so that we come up with the necessary indicators. It is only through such strategies that we can, at least, progressively implement the rights enshrined in our Constitution. This strategy further complements Vision 2030 on sustainable development; it is anchored on people development through rights-based approach. It is only through such kind of initiatives and strategies that we will be in a position to achieve the rights enshrined in the Constitution. The strategy also defines commitments and priorities at all levels of Government to make sure that environmental issues are mainstreamed. This strategy offers an institutional framework for enjoyment of those rights. It is only through an informed and well-educated citizenry that we can achieve participatory development. Above all, this education will guarantee us attitude change, which is key to making informed decisions and the realization of all rights as enshrined in our Constitution. I am talking about mainstreaming of environmental education and better livelihoods. That will go a long way in helping Kenyans alleviate poverty. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
