- The inaugural Africa Climate Summit, championed by HE President Ruto, running from September 4, 2023, till September 8, 2023, aimed to address the increasing exposure to climate change and its associated costs, both globally and particularly in Africa.
Yes, he has an idea, but he hadn't read ahead of the summit and needs to train himself in elevator speeches. He's a lawmaker. He should be serious-@TuJadili
“All those criticizing me on how I responded about climate change should vie using their English and become MPs in their constituencies. I was not elected to talk about climate change.”
These were the sentiments of the controversial Sirisya MP Peter Salasya after an interview with an online media SPM BUZZ that had left individuals and critics at his beck and call for having less or no knowledge about the Africa Climate Summit that he had attended.

With the expectation of escalating climate crises in terms of frequency and intensity, urgent action is required to mitigate these challenges.
The Summit which is set to serve as a platform to inform, frame, and influence commitments, pledges, and outcomes, ultimately leading to the development of the Nairobi Declaration.
Salasya’s interview had provoked curiosity among netizens who were amazed at the lack of preparation and knowledge about an event before attending it while others defended him, claiming that he would have told the interviewer that he was there to learn.

Every time I listen to our MPs speak, knowing that we depend on them to make policies to improve our lives. 😭
@Chosen_Konrad
I know MPs are a reflection of our society but si a assume that I am here to learn and it's okay.

He has an idea he just doesn't know how to package it. Mafala ndio hawaezi elewa chenye anasema.

This guy just landed there for the show. Wake up early dress up and zero idea what your schedule is all about. Akin to walking in for an interview without a background check of what your potential employer does.
@Philktoo
Discussion about climate change is very wide, am very sure those bashing Peter Salasya may not even have a full understanding of the topic.
@uzamifu
He should have just memorized the Climate summit theme, that would have been enough. But there is always hope for everyone.
