    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to move the following Motion- THAT, pursuant to Article 5 of the Protocol to the Treaty of establishing the East African Economic Community and relating to the Pan-African Parliament, the Senate approves the appointment of the following Members of Parliament to the Pan-African Parliament – (1) Sen. (Prof.) Margaret Kamar, EGH, MP; (2) Sen. Danson Buya Mungatana, MGH, MP; (3) Hon. Rahab Mukami Wachira, MP; (4) Hon. Joseph Kalasinga Majimbo, OGW, MP; and (5) Hon. Esther Muthoni Passaris, MP. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a fairly straightforward Motion, almost equal to a Procedural Motion. I would like to spend very little time here because parties have consulted, coalitions have agreed and recommended these particular Members. I particularly laud the experience of my younger brother, Sen. Mungatana, whom I worked with for many years. In fact, when Sen. Mungatana joined Parliament in 2002, he was a ‘little boy.’ He was the apple of the eye of the then Vice President of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency Michael Kijana Wamalwa. He then made him Assistant Minister and he stood out. He did very well in the Office of the Vice President. Sen. Mungatana was completely devastated when Hon. Wamalwa died eight months later. I hope that Sen. Mungatana will have an opportunity to exercise the good lessons that he picked from Mr. Wamalwa, who was an outstanding statesman in this country when he will be at the Pan-African Parliament."
