    "content": "For the benefit of the Members of this House who may not have had a chance to go through the Report given that it was tabled just prior to the recess which we have returned from today, I will take the opportunity to go through the salient and key points of the agreements so that Members may be enriched as we proceed to debate and ratify this milestone and historic agreement. On 23rd February 2016, the Leader of the Majority Party in the National Assembly tabled on the Floor of the House a Cabinet Memorandum on the ratification of the agreement between the Government of the Republic of Kenya and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning defence cooperation pursuant to Section 8 of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act of 2012. This agreement was subsequently committed to the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations for consideration and report to this august House. Once ratified, the agreement shall become part of the Kenyan laws as provided for in Article 2(6) of the Constitution, which provides that:- “Any treaty or convention ratified by Kenya shall form part of the law of Kenya under this Constitution.”"
