Pursuant to Standing Order 43 on behalf of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Kenya Branch, I wish to make a Statement regarding Commonwealth Day, 2023. Hon. Speaker, Commonwealth Day, 2023 was marked on Monday, 13th March 2023 throughout the Commonwealth across the Commonwealth Parliamentary Associations (CPAs) in nine regions, 180 parliaments and legislatures. The day is the annual celebration of commonwealth nations often held on the second Monday in March and aims to unite 2.5 billion Commonwealth citizens in celebration of their shared values and principles in pursuit of a common future centred on sustainability and peace. The theme of the Commonwealth Day 2023 was forging a sustainable and peaceful common future which combines the active commitment of the commonwealth to support the promotion of peace, prosperity and sustainability. Especially through climate action to secure a better future for the young people and to improve the lives of all commonwealth citizens. In addition, Hon. Speaker, the year 2023 has been designated the commonwealth year of the youth and, therefore, the Commonwealth Day focus was on delivering opportunities for the people, parliaments, governments and institutions of the commonwealth to connect and work together at many levels through a deep-rooted network of friendship and goodwill. This is the first Commonwealth Day since the passing of Her Majesty, thus the first presided over by His Majesty King Charles III as king and head of the commonwealth. Further, Commonwealth Day 2023, marked the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Commonwealth Charter which was signed by Her Majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth II, on 11th March 2013.
