The Africa Climate Summit kicked off on Monday and runs until Wednesday. It is themed "Driving Green Growth and Climate Finance Solutions for Africa … - Esther Passaris

I noted a correlation between the issues Kenyans are grappling with and climate change. I said Kenyans should give Salasya time before he eventually understands the connection, terming him a man dedicated to his people.

I can relate to where he came from. Mumias, the area he represents, are cane farmers and their issues have more to do with the management of institutions rather than the climate effect on their crop. On the other hand, unemployment is a big issue for most of our youth, and when they are dealing with that, they are not able to relate unemployment to climate change.

We have to understand that as an MP, the citizens who voted for him are more concerned with maybe housing, medical facilities, bursaries or jobs.
