    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think this is one Ministry in the Government that takes Parliament for granted. We need to be assured that the many treaties and agreements that are being signed between the Government of Kenya and other authorities or Governments are, first, vetted by Parliament before they are entered into. A good example is the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), which has been initialised and is due for signing in July, next year. It is between the European Union and the Government of Kenya. Any economic partnership agreement between the Government of Kenya and any other body must also be binding on the World Trade Organisation (WTO). This has far-reaching implications. Could the Assistant Minister assure this House that before they enter into any binding agreements, they will ensure that the authority and approval of Parliament is sought in advance?"
