    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No.33(1), I seek leave of the House to adjourn for the purpose of discussing the major achievement of the election of the Republic of Kenya to the non-permanent seat of the United Nations (UN) Security Council for the period of 2021/2022. Article 23 of the United Nations Charter provides for the election of 10 non-permanent members to the UN Security Council. In accordance with Rule 142 of the Rules of Procedure, the General Assembly elects each year five non-permanent members to the Security Council in line with regional and continental patterns. During its meeting held on 18th June 2020, the General Assembly elected Kenya to represent Africa as one of the non-permanent members of the UN Security Council. This is a major achievement for the country and a vote of confidence in the place of Kenya in global diplomacy and mutualism. This is against the background that Kenya was the official African Union-endorsed candidate for the position and will use this position to continue its pursuit for peaceful co-existence, women and youth empowerment, humanitarian action, justice and human rights, environment and climate change and sustainable development goals all over the world. Finally, it is for this major achievement and moment of pride for our country Kenya - and with your indulgence – that I seek leave for the adjournment of the House to discuss and express its seal of approval and congratulations to the country for such, with the guidance of the leadership of His Excellency the President, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, CGH."
