    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. From the outset, I want to commend the President of Kenya for having seen it important to hold the constitutional requirement that this House is given the mandate it deserves to deliberate on this issue. As far as I do not subscribe to the school of thought of East African integration, I agree with those who say that Kenya has been an island of peace in terms of internal and regional integration. Therefore, I support the young men and women who are going to fly our flag in trying to sustain peace in a fragile nation. It is very important for us, Kenyans, to understand that as much as we have contributed to stability in some of these nations, there has not been any reciprocation to Kenyans. You are aware that so many Kenyans who tried to invest in South Sudan lost their lives and property even when there was some relative calm and peace in that nation. It is very important that when we send our young men and women to some of these regions and some semblance of peace and stability is found, we also expect reciprocation in terms of hospitality when we venture into business and build schools in those regions. With those very few remarks, I beg to support."
