    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The process for ratification of treaties, protocols or any bilateral agreement is very clear in our Constitution. So, what we are debating is what we ought to do. Kenya has participated in the making of this Protocol and knows the purpose, intent, and goodies expected out of it. More so, it is African Union Protocol. Therefore, it goes without saying it is ours and we are in the middle of it. Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is some disturbing noise. Somebody’s phone is ringing thus interrupting my contribution. Treaties, protocols, and bilateral agreements ordinarily set courtesy rules for parties to engage. They put mechanisms for international pledges, agreements, and ways of working together in an orderly manner. They give common commitments where people agree together so that there are no conflicts. It is a matter of commonalities not disagreements. Treaties give an opportunity for networking among agreeing member states and they showcase unity. Unity of purpose, unity to troubleshoot just in case there are issues arising and the unity to amalgamate in a very cohesive manner on purpose of social, economic, political issues and the Pan-African Parliament being brought on board will surely serve those three pillars which are key to this continent."
