    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We want to join you as part of the Kenya delegation, which is comprised of Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, the Hon. Member for the National Assembly, Hon. Mukami, the Hon. Majimbo Kalasinga, the Hon. Esther Passaris and I to welcome the President of the Parliament which is resident in South Africa. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this President has been very effective in terms of supporting the agenda for the continent. That Parliament has been transformed from the chaos that it used to be before, to a platform for exposition of the agenda of Pan-Africanism. We credit him for the work that he has done since his election as President of the Pan-African Parliament. We, from Kenya, have been pushing, and continue to push, that Kiswahili be made a major language at the continental level. Right now, we have Arabic, French, English and Portuguese. The Kiswahili language, although accepted and the only African really indigenous language, has not been used properly, and to the large extent that is required in the work of that Parliament. I take this opportunity to welcome the Hon. President to Kenya. Like you said, we have had great engagements with him. He has been to State House and had great engagements with the President. We are very grateful and honoured to have him in Kenya today. I join you in welcoming him. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Thank you."
