All these issues have been talked about but the challenge is; do we follow through with implementation, or are we just satisfied that, for example, after we pass this report today---?"

We are being challenged to legislate on this or push for policy change. At least, this one is a live topic because climate change is a conversation that Kenya has taken leadership in on the global stage and even continentally.

If there is no other country ready to host, I hope the President will still host like we did in 2023 and 2024. Until we learn to manage our environment and address the issues that continue to arise due to climate change, we are--- I like the phrase that the speech writer of the Secretary General of the UN uses. It is a mad-dash towards the end of the world that everybody is involved in. We might think that we are developing the world when we are actually rushing ourselves and making the end of the world closer with violation of the climate and other things that we are doing."

Hezena, together with our colleagues from the National Assembly, that is Hon. Rindikiri and Hon. Kakai Bisau, Members that are known to me personally, to go beyond the call of duty of travel and ensure that the beautiful recommendations they gave us are implemented. They should ensure that we pass all the legislative proposals that they made in a section of the recommendations."

They need to bring to the attention of the Conference that there are more far-reaching resolutions that were passed at the Africa Climate Summit than those of the Paris Agreement. They were passed here in Nairobi. Therefore, as the Kenyan Delegation, we need to take the lead and speak on these issues, so that we just do not quote what has been discussed."

"content": "You cannot discuss with the violator and expect justice. To expect that the western world, which is a leading violator of climate issues, has gotten us to this place by refusing to respect us. Africa’s contribution to carbon emissions and other challenges is very minimal, yet we bear the greatest burden out of the pollution and all the issues that arise. That is why I believe in the recommendations of the Africa Climate Summit perhaps more deeply than these ones that are discussed in the presence and homes of the violators themselves."

I hope he will complete the work and lead the country into achieving that particular issue."
