    "content": "agenda out there. There are young people – some of them are not very young – who are asking what this translates to and if it will give them another plate of food. The Members who have spoken before me have helped them to understand that, having a seat at the United Nations Security Council is a big advantage to this country. It will help us to become another destination. We will have many conferences hosted here. Unfortunately, we now have the COVID-19 pandemic. In ordinary circumstances, we would attract many conferences in the country, leading to increased tourism and economic activities. Such development would help ordinary Kenyans to get an extra plate of food on their tables. The agenda that needs to be addressed at the United Nations Security Council is a major one. As we address the agenda of human rights, environmental health and sustainable development goals, it is important for the country to pay attention to the legitimacy of the AU. The AU had a Resolution that they will only front Kenya for a seat at the United Nations Security Council, but we saw our neighbours, Djibouti, showing interest. There is need to ensure that the legitimacy of the AU is protected so that it does not become a talk shop. I want to congratulate everybody for a job-well-done."
