    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by Hon. William Chepkut. Before anything, I want to salute Hon. Chepkut and congratulate him for doing this. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as you know, Hon. William Chepkut, the Member of Parliament for Ainabkoi is a first-time Member and a fast learner. Indeed, when you go to the Table Office, he is among the first-time Members who have introduced many pieces of legislation. It is my humble request to other Hon. Members and particularly the first-timers to follow suit. I want to tell the people of Anainabkoi that they never made a mistake. I know the former Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, Hon. Chepkong’a, was also a very active Member of Parliament. As a matter of fact, he was rated second to me because I was the best and I can see Hon. Chepkut is following suit. The Motion at hand is very important because it is taking care of tomorrow. Before I say anything, I want to quote the famous words of Abraham Lincoln. Abraham was the 16th President of the United States of America (USA) and he said that you cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. It is our responsibility to preserve tomorrow by supporting this Motion. When we were growing up under the Nyayo era, we used to hear that if you cut down one tree, you should plant two. We used to hear good policies like Mmomonyokowa udongo. If we do not preserve the environment today, tomorrow it will, indeed, destroy us.
