    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to thank the Chairman, Hon. Pkosing, for a job-well done, assisted by Hon. Mose, who is an advocate. This matter involves a little bit of law and the Committee has done very well. In 2008, just like the Member for Kwanza, Hon. Pkosing was a Chief Executive Officer of a very important parastatal in this country. No wonder he is able to handle matters very well on the Floor of the House. Post-COVID-19, this is a big move to revive the economies of the countries involved. Personally, I am very close to South Africa for other personal reasons. South Africa is a very big economy and when you combine that with the Kenyan economy, then you will have a massive economy. It is also a very large country with many mineral deposits. Ordinarily, if you fly to South Africa using Kenya Airways, after Johannesburg, you cannot access any of those other airports directly. You have to board a local airline there.

It is also very large with friendly people. The three nations, namely, South Africa, Botswana and Kenya, are very good friends. For that reason, this House should support an initiative which supports the coexistence of these nations. Similarly, I am sure he is going to bring something on Russia. I have never seen Russian Airlines anywhere other than in their own country. East Europe is warming up to us, especially because of tourism. I believe when we come to that particular one, it will be as good as the Southern African- Kenyan relations. Kenya has been leading in Africa and has been very instrumental in the air transport sector. The Kenya Airways airplanes are carriers of goods among other services. It makes it very easy for these countries to trade with each other in order to revive their economies post-COVID-19. One of the biggest challenges is that there are so many young people who have lost jobs and are looking forward to finding new jobs. Young professionals who are well trained can take up these jobs and contribute to the growth of their nations as they feed their families. They are looking forward to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
