    "content": "We do not need to belabor the point on matters climate. I am glad that Members are taking their time to make their own contributions towards this important Motion. I just want to zero down on mainly two elements. I will not take too much time because much has been said on this. In the SDGs, which are globally looked at, there is majoring on the blue economy as a need for sustainable development. I want to zero-in on the case of Kenya, namely, Homa Bay County, the surrounding counties, even Uganda, Tanzania and Lake Victoria. We are yet to get worse stories on the effects of climate change especially on women and girls. In this country, we have heard of cases being highlighted about women offering sex for fish in the interest that the volumes of fish in Lake Victoria have gone done. It is women and girls who are mostly affected when it comes to matters climate change. I want to also state what was recently highlighted in our dailies about sex for water because we have no water in most of our counties, especially in Rangwe Constituency, where I come from. Most of the streams there have dried up. Our rivers no longer exist. There is no water and women, not only in Rangwe, but in the greater Homa Bay County, work so hard for their families and they even go out of their way to sell their bodies to unforgiving men in order to get water.
