Temporary Deputy Speaker, at the outset, this is not the first time we are having such a ratification. But in the current Constitution, this is the first one to happen when it comes to seizure of aircraft. This is a chance that Parliament now enjoys as a result of the new Constitution. Initially, the Executive used to just go behind doors, sign very sensitive conventions and protocols without them being debated or shared with Parliament. So, I want to, first and foremost, thank Kenyans for giving us the new Constitution that allows us to look at these conventions."}
