    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, first I want to say I am really humbled by the level of support on this Motion about the impact of climate change on the socio- economic welfare of our people and on our mother planet. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, to sincerely thank all the Members for supporting this Motion. I am saying this because this Motion is putting Kenya on the global map. Therefore, Kenya will become one of the beacons of climate change in the whole world. I do not want to repeat because the Members have articulated the issue of climate change. It is important that we move forward. For my good friend, Hon. Kang’ata of Kiharu, I want to tell him to please go read and understand the issues of climate change and why it is important that all of us as a globe must tackle the issue of climate change. Even China, which he cited that it has done well, I want to inform him that China was among the first countries to ratify the agreement. Currently, as we are talking, China is suffering a lot particularly from the problems of pollution. If you happen to go to Peking, you cannot move. Let us move as a country. We have done very well. We are among the few countries in the world which have come up with Climate Change Act and policy and with the ratification of this agreement. Kenya is going to be very competitive worldwide in accessing the climate change funds from Adaptation Fund, the Green Fund and GA Fund. I beg to reply."
