    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to second the Motion. Globally, states have resorted to using DCAs to modernize their militaries, respond to mutual security threats and establish security umbrellas with like-minded states. Kenya is not an exception to this. The agreement provides for the obligation to protect classified information and intellectual property of each party. Legal status is to be conferred in accordance with the laws of the host nation. The host nation retains primary jurisdiction for criminal offences. Offences that violate military discipline will be disposed of by respective parties in accordance with their military laws and regulations. On claims and indemnity, the DCA provides for cross indemnities and/or settlement of claims caused by negligence, with parties negotiating settlement of third-party claims in accordance with the law. The DCA further provides for the settlement of disputes on its implementation through amicable means and community relations that respect and are sensitive to traditions, customs and the culture of local communities. Additionally, the DCA provides that each party shall retain their respective command for military personnel and ensure the security of equipment, uniforms and arms, with a requirement to provide notice on importing the same. Finally, on taxation, importation and exportation, the DCA provides for tax-free importation of goods for official use, subject to inspection and customs regulations. It also prescribes procedures for identification, vehicle registration, investigation, accidents and entry into force, duration, amendment and termination. Hon. Temporary Speaker, having reviewed the agreement and considered the submissions made, I have no doubt that it will foster Kenya's national interest. The House ought to expeditiously approve the ratification of the agreement. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second the Motion and urge the House to adopt this Report. Thank you."
