    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. March 2020 taught us great lessons on how life is very fragile and that we are interdependent. This is because the COVID-19 calamity, disaster or pandemic was a serious disruption to humanity. Also, business activities and governments were seriously disrupted across the globe. The successful fight against COVID-19 was as a result of different measures taken by many governments like the development of a vaccine. Therefore, ratification of the agreement on the establishment of IVI is extremely important. Research will be enhanced in as far as the development of appropriate vaccines within our nation is concerned. This will also create partnerships which will lead to product development, international research and development of consortiums or networks which will enable us in the development of vaccines for different diseases or viruses. That institute will build capacity in form of trainings, technical assistance and technological transfer within our country. It will enable us to fight future pandemics and improve our capacity to protect not only lives, but also businesses and ensure we have a stable Government which will protect people from different pandemics. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support the ratification of the agreement."
