Ali Roba for Mandera County, I seek a Statement pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1) concerning the devastation caused by the heavy rains and flooding in several member states of the Great Lakes region. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Forum of Parliamentarians of the Member States of the International Conference on Great Lakes Region (FP-ICGLR) is an inter-parliamentary organization composed of 12 national parliamentarians of the ICGLR member states, namely; the Republic of Angola, the Republic of Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Kenya, the Republic of Rwanda, the Republic of South Sudan, the Republic of Sudan, the United Republic of Tanzania, the Republic of Uganda and the Republic of Zambia. The main objective of the FP-ICGLR is to make a significant parliamentary contribution to the implementation of the Pact on Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes region. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the FP-ICGLR is deeply saddened by the recent reports of widespread devastation caused by heavy rains and flooding in some of its member states, resulting in the loss of hundreds of lives and displacement of thousands of others. The FP-ICGLR has noted with grief that the recent floods have claimed the lives of over 400 people, displaced more than 234,000 people, with the Republic of Kenya being the most affected country with at least 228 reported deaths. The disaster has highlighted the Great Lakes region's susceptibility to the impacts of climate change and is a reminder for the regional and international community at large,"
