    "content": "9. Environment and climate change. 10. Sustainable development goals. Kenya’s promise is to work with the entire UN membership in executing the mandate of the UNSC in an inclusive, responsive and consultative manner irrespective of the countries’ size and military strength. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we also appreciate the hard work done by the heads of foreign missions based in Nairobi for the support they accorded us in carrying the message back home. I want to reserve a very special gratitude to the heads of foreign missions. They are called “permanent representatives” of all countries based in New York at the UN Headquarters for supporting our candidature and by being the actual voters standing by Kenya. I especially want to thank those head of missions in New York who found time to visit Kenya in two seminars hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in Mombasa in January and February this year. Allow me to reserve a final and special appreciation to our missions based in New York and Addis Ababa for their tireless and round-the-clock coordination of the campaigns, including liaising with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Headquarters in Nairobi, the UN Headquarters in New York and the AU Headquarters in Addis Ababa. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade kept our Committee fully involved in every step of the way and we had continual cooperation. Finally, I want to request this House to avail funds for the operationalisation of this office beginning January next year. A lot of money is required to operationalise the office in New York. The UNSC works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, throughout the year. Therefore, financial resources are required. I call upon this House to ensure that as we appropriate funds, we take this matter very seriously and operationalise that office. Let me confirm that as the National Assembly and as a country, we appreciate this position. We accept it with zeal. We are able to take the task. This is the third time Kenya is in the UNSC. It is because of our position globally, regionally and continentally that we support multilateralism rather than nationalism. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
