    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Report as it is for the best interests of the country as Members have said. Climate change is a serious threat to lives and livelihood for the whole world. It has brought about high poverty levels and health implications. Last week, I was reading a journal and I found out that in China, several million people die of lung cancer. We are already there globally because of factories and climate change has continued to advance. Achieving low carbon in future will require innovation at every level of the economy. However, some ways are already discovered, for instance, the wind power. In Kenya, we have several wind power projects. As I assert what the Members have said, we should support this ratification for the interest of this country. As I stand here, I am sad being a Member for Nyandarua County where this innovation was already in place. We were meant to have a project in Kinangop, which could have given this country over 60 megawatts through wind power. As always, some people do not have the interest of this country. We can ratify this Agreement, but ratification is one thing and implementation is another. It is the Government to sign the Agreement, but the implementation requires the efforts of every Kenyan. In Kinangop, we witnessed the loss of a wind power project which was one way of climate control. I ask myself every day how there is wind in Kinangop, but it is very cold.
