"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I commend the delegation led by Sen. Hamida Kibwana. She is a guru in most of these issues of the United Nations, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and discussions that happen. The Report is very important. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, In early 2000, we refocused our energies on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Vision 2030, which was internalized. Now we are moving to the 17 Sustainable 17 Development Goals. This voluntary review by nations is very critical. The United Nations Declaration on Human Rights and the formation of Economic and Social Council is very important in terms of development across the globe. In this resolution, most of these things need political direction, guidance and leadership. We were just discussing the issue of the Great Lakes. We realized that peace, security and stability is very critical for sustainable development. You cannot have development without peace, security, and stability in our region, especially the Horn of Africa and across the world. Dialogue is very important especially in conflict resolutions. There is also focus on dynamic action-oriented agenda and considering new and emerging sustainable development challenges. Voluntary national reviews from member states on Vision 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is very critical moving into the future. There must be improved cooperation and coordination between the United Nations and across the states of the world. Now, the United States of America (USA) is imposing tariffs on China and other countries, including Africa, while we are told Kenya is among the lowest tariffs that were being imposed. The threat to Sustainable Development Goals is protectionism by nations 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."
