    "content": "If our environment was not conducive for our livelihood, we would not exist here. In the past, Al Gore talked about climate change, but we laughed him off. Prof. Wangari Maathai did the same, but we laughed her off. Hon. Michuki did the same, but we laughed him off. So, it is about time that we took stern measures to support and find ways to provide solutions to the effects of climate change. It is about time we took stern measures in support of climate change interventions. Most importantly, we need to ensure that rain water is harvested. We have long and short rains, but we just let the water drain into the Indian Ocean. As we think of how to protect the environment, we must think of how to take advantage of the little rain water that we get. We should harvest it and keep it. In my constituency, places like Mukuru kwa Njenga and Mukuru kwa Reuben have always had water shortages. We need to take care of the environment, including the eviction of people from the Mau Forest so that we can have sufficient water to support our livelihoods. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
