    "content": "The Deputy President undertook the trip, as I have stated from16th May to 19th May. The list of the delegation comprised of 14 persons who included the Deputy President and his Chief of Staff, four Members of Parliament nominated by the Majority Leaders of both the Senate and the National Assembly, a Protocol Officer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, three security officers, the Personal Assistant to the Deputy President, two Communication Officers, an accountant and a financial analyst from the Office of the Deputy President. I will table the full list of the delegation, which is in this folder, among other documents. Hon. Speaker, Sir, noting that the trade between the East and West Africa is currently very low, and taking into account that Kenya is host to tens of thousands of refugees from Somalia, the purpose of the visit by the Deputy President to the four African nations was follows: One was to address the enormous economic and security challenges Somalia has posed to Kenya; it was necessary for Kenya to solicit support and influence of the African Union (AU) position in as far as the management of the Somali crisis is concerned. Specifically, the management and the mandate of AMISOM was to be enhanced and more resources made available to assist the Somali Government to set up a local administrative and governance structure under the IGAD framework. Secondly, there are currently more than 600,000 refugees who have been residing in Kenya for more than a decade. Kenya will be pursuing the matter at the AU Summit that will be held in Addis Ababa between the 23rd and the 27th of this month. That is the coming weekend."
