"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I welcome the delegation from the USA and congratulate them for doing a peaceful election unlike last time. I also pass our regards to the president-elect, Donald Trump. I hope he will look at Kenya this time around. I also pass our regards to Megan Whitman who was a very good Ambassador to Kenya. I equally wish Namibia well. I request them to push on with the spirit of Pan- Africanism. I request the new president to support Baba Raila Odinga to be the African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson going into the future because I know he will win. I was with him at Sen. Osotsi’s home. Finally, is on the issue of miraa . We should not be discussing about banning miraa because Somalia is the new child of the East African Community (EAC). If we want to establish trade protocols within the EAC and ensure balance of trade and payment within the new nations--- Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am cognizant of the fact that you were also in Uganda representing His Excellency the President. One of the agenda is building EAC where we do proper trade engagements. If trade partners of the EAC like Tanzania, Uganda, Somalia and Rwanda cannot trade amongst themselves, how will we do it with the rest of the world? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
