    "content": "Hon. Senators, UNCTAD is the principal organ of the United Nations General Assembly dealing with trade, investment and development issues while TICAD aims at drawing international attention and urgency to African development issues while paying attention to Africa’s ownership of the process. On 21st June, 2016, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade briefed a joint Committee of the Senate on Foreign Relations and Finance on the state of preparation towards the hosting of the said conferences. As the country prepares to host the UNCTAD 14 and TICAD VI conferences, it will be important for Parliament and in particular the Senate to actively participate and contribute to the key thematic areas of UNCTAD 14; the World Investment Forum, Global Commodities Forum and the World Youth Forum and TICAD VI; Industrialisation, Health and Social Stability that have a vast array of topics lined up for discussions. In this regard, that I invite Senators who wish to participate in the UNCTAD 14 and TICAD VI Conferences to express interest and indicate which thematic areas they may wish to be part of. This is important because participants at this conference will need to be fully accredited. This is, therefore, to request you to submit your names and the thematic areas of interest in both conferences to Mr. Boniface L. Lenairoshi, Principal Clerk, Finance, Budget and Commerce Committee on cellphone No.0722258582 by 5.00 p.m today 30th June, 2016. I thank you. Hon.Senators, I will rearrange the Order Paper subject to Standing Order No.39. I will allow the Chairperson of Land and Natural Resources Committee to submit a Paper. After which, we will go straight to Order No.20 on the Order Paper and then go back to Order No.12. We will proceed along those lines."
