• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: I want to tell my colleagues from the opposition that a time will come when they must rise to the occasion. They must be able to tell their leaders that: “This is not the route you should take the people of Kenya.” We took the route of chaos and violence in 2007. Some of us who were in the 10th Parliament and participated in drafting the law on the Government of National Unity, do not want to go back there. Hon. Speaker, I have the message from my colleague. If you allow me, I will table it. A time will ... view

• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Climate change is one of the most serious global challenges that requires international attention and action. Kenya, like most countries, is vulnerable to the impact of climate change. This is exhibited by the country’s high dependence on climate sensitive sectors like agriculture, energy, wildlife, tourism, water and health. These are very sensitive sectors to climate change.

• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: The Government has spearheaded various initiatives to address climate change. An example of such an initiative is the National Climate Change Response Strategy which was launched in 2010 followed by the National Climate Action Plan of 2013-2017. What do these strategies do?

So, the ... view
• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: What is the objective and aim of the Paris Agreement? The aim and objective of the Paris Agreement is first to strengthen the global response to any threat of climate change within the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty.

• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: If I go to the document itself, in Articles 6 and 7 of the Agreement, parties, and in this case countries, are required to take action to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen their resilience and reduce their vulnerability. These are very key and important features. We must have capacity to adapt, strengthen our resilience capabilities and be ready to reduce vulnerability to climate change. view
