    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I acknowledge and note the Report on PAP. It raises a lot of concerns and good points. I am not a black African. I am a brown African, as my friend says. Since the early 20th Century, African countries have had the vision to become the Pan-African States of Africa. Gaddafi tried. The Egyptian leader Abdel Nasser tried. Lumumba tried. Nkrumah tried. The vision is excellent. The implementation is not. Vision without implementation is hallucination. There is the AU organ in Addis Ababa, there is PAP, there is ECOWAS and there are very many others. I have been to PAP, not as a participant but as an observer. I wonder whether it is a talk shop. Members do not make laws, as my colleague said. It is more of a conference where people talk. The biggest problem they have is the difference between Francophone, Anglophone and Spanish. If Africans are going to be split between Anglophone, Francophone and Spanish, that is irrelevant. They are all Africans and we were all colonised. The aim of AU and PAP is to bring parliamentarians together so that they can form a body of understanding. They should understand what Kenya, Uganda, Botswana, Mauritania and South Sudan are about. The fact that we have not seen a comment from PAP on South The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
