House Chairperson and hon Deputy President, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that on 25 September 2011, the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Prof Wangari Maathai, passed away after a prolonged and brave struggle with cancer;
2) further notes that Prof Wangari Maathai's work with the Green Belt Movement in Kenya and as an activist for civil and women's rights in Kenya and beyond, received worthy recognition internationally when she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004;
3) acknowledges that Prof Maathai has left a lasting legacy in greater awareness and her work in protecting our environment and the world; and
4) extends its heartfelt sympathies to her family and the Kenyan people.
Agreed to.
