    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion that seeks to urge the Government to come up with a policy and guidelines that provide for emission standards. As the Mover of the Motion has clearly stated, we are a developing country that risks developing in a way that could be detrimental to the health of our citizenry. As I contribute, I would like to draw the attention of the hon. Members to the fact that in terms of greenhouse emissions, Kenya, just like other African countries, contributes less than 3 per cent to what has brought about global warming. So, it must be emphasized that as much as we are emitting, we are not the major emitters. The major emitters are the developed countries who have over 97 per cent of this burden. What Kenya and other African countries are continuing to suffer from are the effects of global warming. That does not mean that we do not need to do something on our part. That is why I support this Motion brought by my colleague, Mr. Chachu, because he has seen that we can also be part of the problem as a country."
