    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion, hon. Dr. Joyce Laboso for bringing this Motion. This will enable us get information concerning some of the trade policies and agreements that are signed by the Government and which have an effect on our people. Hon. Speaker, Article 95(2) of the Constitution gives this august House power to deliberate on all issues touching on the people of Kenya. This is, indeed, a matter that is of critical importance to Kenyans. In the past, our nation has signed agreements which ultimately impact negatively on us. Today we have been discussing about disaster preparedness. We are conscious of a treaty that was signed a long time ago between Egypt and the rest of the East African countries. Today we cannot harness fully the waters of River Nile because of the treaty that was signed during the colonial times. Any treaty that is signed by the Government of Kenya should have the input of the National Assembly. This is why I support this Motion: Trade imbalances between developing countries and Europe disfavor the growing nations. In order to address those imbalances"
