    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Our wellbeing and entire lives evolve around the environment. The environment is the single-most important resource that determines the food we eat, our culture, knowledge, lifestyles and the entire behaviour of human beings. Our genetic composition is to some degree contributed to by the environment. The initiative to access clean environment mostly depends on public participation and the attention of every Kenyan citizen to do his or her part. For the public to do their part, they need to be aware, informed and knowledgeable on environmental matters so that we can have behavioural change. To change the Kenyan public’s behaviour towards the environment, we need to pursue serious civic education. The public needs to know that they are not mere receivers or consumers of the right to a clean and healthy environment, but to participate in making sure that, that right can be available to all the citizens by helping their State. We can change the behaviour of the Kenyan public if we can include environmental matters in school programmes. This is so that we can have young people nurtured on matters environment and mentored all along from childhood to adulthood, so that they grow up as citizens who are aware of their environment. Further, it is good to mainstream environmental issues at all governance levels within all the facets of the country. This is so that we can end up having systems that are conscious, friendly and sensitive The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
