    "content": "(Seme, ODM)]: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support that we should sign this agreement. My main reason is that we should have signed it a long time ago. This thing was founded in 2007 and Kenya became a member in 2017. I am sure at that time the Cabinet must have made that decision, and today, we are discussing it. For that reason, we should have signed it. Secondly, Africa needs to work together. If you start from the days of slavery, colonialism and the Second World War, it was after the war that European countries suddenly realised they could no longer keep the colonies. So, they let them go and if they had to go, they needed their resources. What did they do? The war ended in 1945 and in 1947, they started their development bank, which first of all dealt with infrastructure in Europe and later became a bank for the whole world. There is evidence that more money leaves Africa now than before the independence of the States. So, we need AFC. How come Pan-Africanism died? Around 1950s, Dubois and Kwame Nkrumah wanted Africa to come together and become one big federation. Problems in the USA started in 1774 when individuals started having problems with the King. The only thing that would give them strength against domination by Britain was to form one union. By 1776, they made the Declaration of Independence. Look at what they are now. They have been helping the world, but now they are closing in again. Where do we go? We need our own institutions. AFC needs to work. We also have ADB, African Export-Import The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
