    "content": " Thank you, very much Hon. Speaker. I am rising under Standing Order No. 47(3). Since we are on this matter of reorganising the Order Paper, going by what is provided in Article 118(b) of the Constitution, I am seeking your guidance to know if we are in order to also get into the matter that is appearing on the Order Paper as item No. 10, which is a Motion on Ratification of the Economic Partnership Agreement between Kenya and the United Kingdom. I rise because I am also looking at the Treaty Making and Ratification Act which provides for ways in which this Parliament can ratify a treaty. This Treaty is coming to this House through a Report of the Committee, which I am in no place to fault. However, looking at this Treaty, the one that has been tabled here, and I was here in October when it was tabled, it says that it will be tabled in this House together with annexes. There is an annex listed as Annex I which is custom duties on products originating in the EAC partner states. Annex II is on custom duties on products originating from the United Kingdom. There is Annex III and Protocol I and 2. I am in possession of a treaty that was tabled in this House and to my mind and also, what I am having here, it is very clear that these annexes have not been together with this treaty. My concern is that this treaty is extremely critical. What we are about to discuss here is going to go into matters of how we relate with our trade partners in the UK.
