    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are issues relating to youth and Kenya was leading even in cooperatives. Kenya has been leading the rest of Africa in structuring the youth and accommodating the youth. You see now the rising cases of xenophobia in South Africa. If there were such debates and people begin to appreciate each other, you will realise that we are all the same and that is why other African states helped South Africa when it was down, it will begin to bring us together as Africa. It will promote trade within the African countries. Already, we have commercial regions such as the COMESA. So, this will be a better place to go and formulate policies which improve the infrastructure because one is now able to travel from South Africa to North Africa using the road. There will be ways of agreeing that this is the best way to do it, these are the shorter routes and this is what we can do. We have also been acting against terrorism. Countries come together and produce their armies. There will be a better structure and a better legal framework to do those things. Africa will begin participating better at the United Nations. What is happening in the Pan-African Parliament is very important. We have been sending very strong Members who have brought results. One of the issues you cannot ignore totally is education especially when it is women versus men. Gender has not been unionized. There is gender violence and part of it is witnessed in Kenya. There is gender depression where women have no rights at all. There will be a common way of taking care of the human rights bit all over Africa. Now that we have the African Charter, then it is better when we also have a parliament. I support and once again I apologise for having walked out for a minute. Thank you."
