We also want the Kenya Forest Service and the Ministry of Environment to enforce the 10 per cent forest cover requirement whether on public or private land. That way, even farmers endowed with more resources should convert part of their farmlands into forests, which can be commercial forests or indigenous forests for purposes of climate change.

I beg to support this Motion and concur with my colleagues that those who have been nominated be appointed to serve in that Council, so that we are able to work on this matter of climate change. However, I emphasize that as we attend core conferences, African Nations must wake up and we must look the West into the eyes and squarely put the blame where it lies.

There is no way America will be doing their manufacturing in China and claim that China is a leading polluter. There is no way the West will say Africa is not doing enough while they are the ones who destroyed our natural resources, went away with all the resources and now they want to tell us that we are responsible. Everybody must be given their fair share of the blame and in so doing, they must give their fair share of resources for fighting climate change.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is about the conduct of hon. Sen. Nyamu who approaches the seat of the Chair without bowing. It is becoming increasingly dangerous that the traditions of the House are being violated and this has an impact on the image of the Senate. It is imperative that all Senators stick to the Standing Orders and to the rules of the House.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of the Petition by the Senator of Kericho and our Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, on the historical injustices and the compensation required for those who were affected by colonialists. Successive administrations in this country, right from independence, have failed to address the issue of historical injustices that arose from the process of colonization of this country. Looking at this nation, starting from the Coast; in the independent Kenya of 60 years, we are still discussing issues of squatters on their own land with absentee landlords who grabbed the lands from the citizens ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Faki of Mombasa, on the disconnection of power in Coast General Hospital, by Kenya Power. Kenya Power has had a tendency of disconnecting electricity to critical installations, particularly in counties and the audacity to try and force counties to pay bills, some of which need verification. I stand here to say that a number of bills that Kenya Power sends to counties are not accurate. They are inflated. What they bill counties have been found to be higher than actual consumption, whenever an audit or reconciliation is carried out ...
