    "content": "eradication? It means then than the Motion that has been brought to this House is so important. If these goals were to be pursued both at the national and county level, you might find the contestations we have today would be a thing of the past. A person who has the means of working towards eliminating poverty in their homes, family and community may not have much time to go to the streets for maandamano to agitate for this or that. Do we then say that, as counites or the national Government, we need to do much more? Do we need to look at how we monitor the progress towards realization of these goals? My answer would be, yes. If every county was to take up the 17 SDGs; give itself an implementation matrix - though we have seven years binding before the lapse of the period within which the SDGs were timed - then we would be making a step towards their realization. Realization of these goals, dreams, global intentions that was put forth. Africa, just like our nation, is well resourced. When Africa goes to negotiate, undertake or sign up for implementation of such goals, how does the rest of the world perceive her? Do we have resources? Are we nations that are able to sustain and push through such goals of eradication of poverty? My answer would be, yes. However, the negotiation at the global stage sometimes may not be meeting the needs of Africa. Our engagement, as nations, on international platforms may fundamentally need to be adjusted. This is because if we were to look at the wild planning to have a global call of action towards realisation of these goals and juxtapose it against the financial framework that Africa has been subjected to, then we can gauge the clear intention of the world towards Africa."
