    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the AU could not clearly talk about election in a member State before. Kenya holds its election and it goes whatever direction. When there was post-election violence, AU was quiet about it. However, under the Constitutive Act it is concerned that if bad things happen in Kenya, they have a ripple effect in the neighbouring countries. That is why AU takes cognisance of it. Among other important things that this Constitutive Act addresses is the issue of inter- African infrastructure, Agenda 2063 and African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement. With these, you can see that there is more partnership and engagement within the AU. Through the Constitutive Act, the structure or organisation of the AU is more pronounced. It used to have a very rudimentary structure of about four or five divisions. We have the Executive, PAP, African Court of Justice and Human Rights, Specialised Technical Committees, Permanent Representative Committees, and Economic, Social and Cultural Council. All these encompass AU. They want to address the African continent and its people holistically. With those many remarks, I support this Motion and ask my colleagues to support it, so that this Protocol becomes an instrument within the laws of the land. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
