    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in the last Parliament, which I am proud the great people of Kiminini gave me an opportunity to serve in, we had three legislators who were passionate and compassionate about matters legislation. I am sure if Governor Ottichilo, the Governor of the great people of Vihiga, was here today, he would be smiling because he was very passionate about climate change matters. I will not forget the former Chairlady of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, Hon. Amina Abdalla. She also was very compassionate and passionate about environmental matters. I do not know the current chairman of the Committee but I hope that he will also be passionate about environment matters. I expected him to be here when the Leader of the Majority Party was moving this Sessional Paper and even second it. Unfortunately, he is not here. That is why we have been telling the Jubilee Government that it is not about winner-takes-it-all. We must learn to share and elect competent chairpersons who can drive these departmental committees to where we want to go. I humbly request the relevant ministries that touch on environmental matters to institutionalise and operationalise this Policy so that it can be implemented."
