    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had the privilege to be in this Parliament and be one hon. Member who seconded it. There was an Act of Parliament. If you read that Act 2 of 2000, apart from the preamble and procedures of dealing with the Treaty, it contained the body of the Treaty as published. That Treaty was not brought here for ratification. We had to enact a law because we were transferring some of our authority to an external authority. We were allowing that decisions in Arusha to have the effect of law in Kenya. That way, this Treaty was not ratified by Parliament. Cabinet ratified the Treaty but an Act of Parliament which embraced the body of the Treaty was enacted as a law in this country."
