    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the delegation, I would wish to thank the office of the Speaker of the Senate and the Clerk of the Senate for the continued support towards facilitating the activities of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, ensuring that Kenya was well represented during that Conference of young parliamentarians. It is also important to say that, even though the delegation of the members of the support team that we went with were drawn from the two Houses, both the National Assembly and the Senate, we had a very good team. They were able to facilitate Members and including our presentations that we were made. As we keep saying time and again, the Secretariat and the members of staff from Parliament keep proving that their professionalism is beyond reproach. I would like to encourage the Clerk of the Senate, Mr. Jeremiah Nyegenye, to continue giving as many members of staff, opportunities to showcase their knowledge and professionalism with the delegations that keep moving. Sen. Asige is a visually impaired person. If she was here, she would have confirmed that indeed, the team that we had been given by the leadership of the Secretariat of the Senate was a good team. Mr Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 7 of the IPU statutes mandate members of the IPU to submit the resolutions of the IPU within their respective Parliaments in the most appropriate form, to communicate them to the Government and stimulate their implementation to inform the IPU Secretariat as often and fully as possible, particularly in its annual reports of the steps taken and the results obtained. Accordingly, Hon. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in accordance with Article 7 of the statutes of the IPU, it is my pleasure and humble duty to submit this Report, highlighting the discussions and the Conference statement of the 9th Inter-Parliamentary Union Global Conference for Young Parliamentarians to Parliament for necessary noting and action. Mr Temporary Speaker, Sir, I therefore, beg to move and request Sen. Veronica Waheti Maina to second."
