    "content": " Thank you, Hon.Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. From the outset, I wish to support the Report on ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly. The resolutions that were made in this Assembly are very important for the growth and stability of Kenya and this region at large. Looking at the Report, very important issues were discussed such as peace, security, economic development, trade, investment and climate change. We all know that there cannot be security and development without peace. We cannot talk of economic growth in the absence of security and peace. I wish to agree with the delegation that went to this meeting and the deliberations that they made. Climate change is an issue that is alive to the majority of the people. We are experiencing a drought situation in our country and especially in the ASAL areas where they have always had a culture of livestock keeping. It is now a very difficult thing to do because of the dry weather. The coming on board of the European Union is a good idea. It is in Europe where we have the First World countries which are industrialised. There is need also to ensure the EU supports countries like Kenya to embark on afforestation activities. We need to restore our regular weather patterns. 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."
