    "content": "devolve this issue of climate change because it sounds very global and very big. We must break it down to issues of water, rivers drying, hailstorms, rising sea levels and rising temperatures. Let us break it down so that members of the community can understand it. On the issue of public participation, I do not think we are at a point where we have been able to get a framework to involve our communities. I am hoping that some of these resources can go to that, not only for public participation to comply with the Constitution, but for effective public participation. That you would go around and announce whatever you want to announce and get the stakeholders to know so that they can air their views on the issue. The issue of public-private partnership will also be considered. Let the civil society, because I know there are many organisations in the country that deal with this issue, be brought forward to make their contribution on this issue. I hope we will make it our personal responsibility to conserve our environment for our children and generations to come. Even as we talk about the Vision 2030, SDGs and the big four in the Jubilee Government, we will not go far if we do not put money where our mouth is and fund matters of climate change. We should break down the information to Kenyans and educate them in our curriculum for them to understand what it means. We should also mitigate where we can and take the necessary action where we should. With those remarks, I support the adoption of this sessional paper. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
