“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.

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.

@IsaacMukhebi

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

@TuJadili

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.

@AnthonyNjihia

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.
