    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, we are our own enemies. I know there are efforts to save Kakamega Tropical Rain Forest, but it may take a while. As a country, we are a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol which said that the more forest cover you have, the more carbon credits you will get. This has not been taken seriously by our country. Therefore, if we ratify this Agreement and take it seriously, we will have individual people accessing the Kyoto Protocol carbon credit facilities which are there once you reveal the number of trees you have planted in your area. We should take the ratification of this Agreement very seriously and move faster than before to--- About four years ago, I was in Romania and I was very impressed that it has 27 per cent of its land mass covered by forests. The forests extend to the city. In Kenya, I think, our forest cover is below 5 per cent. When the Leader of the Majority Party was seconding the Motion, he said that this will enable us access some global funds one of which is environmental funding, green house fund and transfer of technology fund. All these are there beckoning. So, we should, after the passage of this Motion on the Ratification of this Agreement encourage Kenyans to seriously adhere to it."
