    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the adoption of this Report, the PAP delegation would like to ask for support from this House, as the Kenya National Assembly, to the PAP, so that it can be vested with legislative powers. These powers will allow us to pass laws that can transcend African states and members. This cannot be possible if the Members of the PAP also are not elected in a way that gives proper representation of the African people. Again, we are, therefore, recommending that Members of the PAP be elected by universal suffrage, and in the short-term, maybe, by an electoral college, so that they are more committed towards the work of the PAP, rather than serving two bodies like we are doing right now, where our National Assembly is represented in the PAP. Those were the two key issues that were addressed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, most fundamental was the spirit of Pan- Africanism and the transformation of the AU towards us becoming a united states of Africa and the steps that must be taken. Therefore, we ask for the support of this Report, as Members of the PAP, because we believe that it is paramount for us, as the African Continent, to move towards becoming one Africa, one voice and one people. That can only be achieved through legislating laws that cut across borders. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move this Motion and ask for the support of the PAP in the execution of its functions. I would like to ask my colleague, hon. Sirma, to second this Motion."
