    "content": " Thank you. I had hoped you would direct the Hon. Nyikal to the Table Office up here in Room 8 because there are adequate copies with annexures. I have a Report that was tabled with annexures. If his Personal Assistant photocopied without the annexures, you can ask them to download online. I had said I was rising to support this Motion. Allow me to first disabuse a lot of misinformation that has been given by our colleague and my good friend, Hon. Opiyo Wandayi. I heard him say that the UNSC Resolution 2699 of 2023 does not even mention Kenya anywhere. I will draw his attention to Page 23, the third page of the UNSC and he will notice that taking note of the call made by the Government of Kenya (GoK) on 21st September 2023, urging the UN to urgently deliver an appropriate framework to facilitate the deployment of a multinational security support as part of a holistic response to Haiti's challenges calling on the UNSC. The whole document is replete with a mention of Kenya, even the Kenyan delegation that visited Haiti to assess the situation there and report back to UNSC. Therefore, Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me first disabuse that notion that the UNSC did not take cognisance of the role being taken by Kenya. Secondly, I think the Leader of the Minority Party has not read the Committee's Report that was tabled yesterday. I was with him somewhere in Stoni Athi yesterday, deliberating on other matters of national importance like the cost of living. We may have missed the tabling of the Report. I will, again, share this Report with him because Kenya is deploying our officers as part of this Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) team. If you just go to the Report, and I just want to be very brief and draw reference to it, Kenya is the lead nation for the MSS Mission to Haiti. The Leader of Minority Party was asking emotionally, “Are we the only Africans? Are we the only black people; us and Haiti?” This Report that is before us, which I am sure is in his office because his PA is a very diligent officer, says that this mission includes Senegal. Senegalese are Africans. They are black people like you and me. It includes Burundians who are Bantus like you and I although you are half Nilote or half Bantu."
