    "content": "Mine is to challenge them. This is an issue of priority if we are talking about putting our priorities clearly as a country. We need to protect our natural resources. They should wake up and address the issue of climate change as top priority. When it comes to issues of health, there is increased cost of health because of the adverse effects of climate change. This will affect everybody. It will not matter where you come from or your political affiliation. It will affect all of us. When we talk about reduced agricultural production, this affects our livelihood. It is the mainstay of the Kenyan people. It will not choose where to hit. It will hit all of us. When we talk about the decline in the quantity and quality of water, it will affect all of us. It is obvious that all these things have a cost implication on our Government. As I speak, the Government has to devise means and ways to mitigate food shortages. It must address how to mitigate all these adverse effects of climate change. This is a burden which is going to hit on the table of every Kenyan. With those few remarks, I support this Policy and really want to see how this will be followed through in terms of implementation. Kenyans must go to the basics. One Member said that we need to even teach our children about the small habits and practices that will promote the protection of and care of our environment. We have been told here, which is very true, that nature can be very forgiving, but it has a way of coming back to eat into all of us. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
