    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, having said that, I want to state that I support that report but I want to avoid your pet subject which is LGBTQIA+. I will avoid that subject because it has no impact on litmus paper in relation to my life. I want to speak to the issue of the treaty of the Africa, Caribbean Pacific- European Union (ACP-EU). I have been a member of the Pan-African Parliament and in this session, I was hoping to be a member of the ACP-EU Parliament. One of the reasons that I am not pursuing it is because of the issue of the expired treaty that I was hoping will be designated along the lines of the Pan-African Parliament. The Pan-African Parliament is designated in such a way that once we have a new parliament, the Parliament of Kenya will elect five people that we pass on this Floor. You then serve that parliament for five years. You are able to contribute meaningfully in that Parliament for five years. However, looking at the structure of the ACP-EU, we only have two members who you could say are permanent and those are the Speakers. When I requested to be designated there, I was told that I could attend some sessions. As the so-called senior lawyer that I am, I do not want to attend a conference. I want to be a Member of a Parliament. I do not want to be in a conference."
