    "content": "change. We have heavy rains pounding the area. Areas around Mt. Kenya, Meru, Tharaka Nithi and Embu are experiencing heavy rainfall and those rivers are now overflowing. In fact, I am told that this morning most parts of the Lower Tharaka were flooded because of these rivers that are overflowing. The net effect is that we need a national policy on climate change; a policy that will actually drive this country from where we are today towards a better tomorrow and towards a vision that we all envisage of Kenyans having better lives. Therefore, having gone through this Paper that actually starts with what we think the position is, we go down to what the policy issues are and eventually conclude with implementation of those policy issues. It is my humble submission that the country needs to have a policy paper such as this so that we can move forward to having better climate not just for Kenya but for the entire Africa and the world so that our people can live better lives. Therefore, I do support that we adopt this Paper. I have proposed to my people of Tharaka that we must endeavour to plant trees. Let us plant as many trees as we can because by so doing we are mitigating against negative climatic changes. I support the Sessional Paper."
