Kenyan MPs Push for More Funding on Climate Change Efforts

Duale has been challenged to consider expanding the scope of Climate Change Mitigation measures that can be legally executed through the NG-CDF Kitty. 

MPs from the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) Committee of the National Assembly have challenged Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale to consider expanding the scope of Climate Change Mitigation measures that can be legally executed through the NG-CDF Kitty.

Speaking during a meeting to finalize drafting of guidelines on the Amended NG-CDF Act, in relation to funding on Climate change Mitigation Measures under the kitty.

The lawmakers said key areas of concern including water harvesting and promoting use of renewable clean energy in public institutions would go a long way in pushing climate change Mitigation efforts beyond the tradition of tree planting in public schools.

They were championed by Committee Chairperson Musa Sirma, saying a lot of resources spent in tree planting drives go to waste in the Arid Zones, where there are no subsequent watering initiatives.

“That is why we also need to tap into water harvesting as an initiative under NG-CDF to bolster the re-afforestation efforts especially in the Arid and semi-arid areas,” said Sirma.

Ministry officials in attendance were led by the Acting Conservation Secretary George Tarus.
