    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, recalling that ten years ago, world leaders agreed to take decisive action to combat world poverty in its different dimensions using time-bound and measurable targets; further recalling that Kenya is among the 189 countries that signed the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in September, 2000 and is committed to the purposes and principles of Charter of the United Nations; concerned that apart from education and possibly HIV/AIDS, Kenya has fallen behind in the race, and has not made sufficient progress towards meeting the Millennium Development Goals; concerned that at the current pace of development with limited resources, Kenya may not meet most of the goals by the year 2015; convinced that parliamentary engagement on the Millennium Development Goals will accelerate progress to achieving the MDGs; this House urges the Government to take concrete measures towards achieving MDGs and report its implementation status and challenges, if any, including remedies within the next six months and at such regular intervals thereafter. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenya was among the 189 countries of the world that signed the MDGs in New York. The Millennium Development Goals are a world order to ensure that all the communities of the world live in harmony and their livelihoods will be improved. The eight goals of the Millennium Development are: eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by the year 2015; achieve universal primary education; promote gender equality and empower women; reduce child mortality; improve maternal health; combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases; ensure environmental sustainability and develop a global partnership for development"
