    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the adoption of the paper. But first and foremost, let me convey my deepest condolences to the family of the late Governor for Nyeri, Dr. Wahome Gakuru, and the people of Nyeri on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Tharaka. It has been a very tight week, having lost Bishop Korir. We have also lost Prof. Okoth Okombo. For those who remember, that is the orderly gentleman who participated in our induction at the Intercontinental. He has passed on. May he rest in peace. In Meru, we have also lost an icon of liberation of Kenya, a former Cabinet Minister, Mr. Kabeere M’mbijiwe. We are also conveying condolences to the people of Meru. When we talk about climate change, sometimes the discussions become emotive, simply because our lives revolve around and are governed by climate. Unless we have a proper framework on the way we manage our climatic conditions, we will always have problems in the country. Remember the late Prof. Wangari Maathai saying that if we do not conserve our environment, if we do not conserve our rivers, one day we may end up drinking soil or sand instead of water. Slowly by slowly, this is becoming true. This is because in places like Tharaka, a month ago it experienced severe drought. The climate had changed. We had no water and the rivers that crisscross the constituency had dried up and everybody was in panic. That situation does not prevail today again because of climate The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
