    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion. At the outset, I must appreciate the fact that we have this very important Motion. I want to actually support the Report that we have concerning the ACP-EU, Joint Parliamentary Assembly. First is to say that as a country, we cannot be on our own. We used to have the East African Community which was later on dissolved. Nevertheless, now we are back. So much happened when we were not together, even trade went down. I support the Motion knowing very well that when African countries come together with the Caribbean and Pacific ones, we become stronger. Matters trade with the EU countries are key. We grow tea, coffee, and many horticultural crops. To have them sold in the world market, especially in the EU, will only happen better through the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). There is a fluctuation of prices in the world market, but being part of ACP-EU, JPA, our prices will be looked into. The many industries that we have can get modern machines and other equipment from member-countries and this will be of great help. Climate change is an issue of concern not only for Kenya or Africa, but the whole world. The many gases that are emitted into the atmosphere come from many of those countries that are highly developed in Europe. For them to accept to join us, it means, at least, issues of climate change will be looked into. So, as members of the OECD, we will have conversations on issues of climate change with an understanding that most funding is from these donor countries."
