    "content": "subscription for being a member of the UN. There was the MDGs declaration and Kenya being a member is bound by that declaration which is supposed to run from 2000 to 2015. We are going to have a major review of the progress. We usually make annual reports but we have detailed reports every five years. So, we will be having a final report for the second five years next year in September. So, we are going to report to the UN in September next year. Since we are a signatory of that Declaration, an MDG unit was set up within the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 which is supported by the Government of Kenya and development partners including United National Development Programme (UNDP). So, UNDP gets some funding from the UN headquarters to support capacity building. Since we signed the Declaration in 2008, we have not undertaken capacity building workshop for Members of Parliament. That is why I decided that this is the appropriate time before we prepare a full report for the ten years next year. So, hon. Members have a chance to contribute to the ten years report. That is why we have organized the workshop that will be there tomorrow. The Government of Kenya is not spending any money. This money is coming from the UNDP for capacity building and that is why I am requesting all hon. Members, if they want to understand in detail what is involved in MDGs, to attend that workshop tomorrow."
