    "content": "Our resolution relating to the Ebola virus epidemic was that a fact- finding mission, monitoring and evaluation mission on the epidemic be sent to the actual affected countries in light of the prevailing health and humanitarian situation. That fact-finding mission is normally undertaken by the relevant committee of PAP at that time. Lastly on the resolution on the ratification of the protocol that I have spoken about that today was tabled by the Leader of the Majority Party, it will be our joy for us to see our President opening the PAP. I believe we shall have ratified this protocol in terms of turning the PAP into a legislative body. The PAP is now playing an advisory role. However, we believe that if PAP is given legislative powers, then we would be able to engage in making model laws that can be implemented in each and every country in Africa. I think the members of PAP should consult with their national legislatures during the model-making process to ensure that we have laws that can be given prominence, especially laws that have to do with environment, human rights and justice for people. Therefore, those are some of the issues that we raised during our last sitting of the PAP. I beg to move that hon. Millie Odhiambo seconds."
