    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have just realized the importance of this matter to Members of this House. Everyone wants to add their voice on it. When this Agreement is signed between those two countries, it should be an opportunity to make gains for this country. I heard Members from areas that grow miraa complaining bitterly that Britain stopped the trade of miraa. They expected those who signed this Agreement to engage the British Government in relation to that matter. People who grow miraa neighbor regions where those military activities are carried out. This Agreement should be reciprocal and of benefit to both sides. Through this exercise, the British Government has done a lot of work in those areas in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). They have constructed boreholes and schools. They can do much more than this because of the immense work that goes on there. There is also the issue of children of mixed race who are born in areas where military activities are carried out. When you visit those areas, you find so many of them. They are neither black nor brown. They are multi-coloured. I do not know whether they are part of this agreement and whether they have been covered under the Defence Co-operation Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Kenya and the Government of United Kingdom. Those children can only tell you about their mothers but not fathers. I hope they have been covered in this Agreement. Lastly, the fee of Kshs7.2 million paid for the installation of equipment by the British Government is very minimal. The amount of land they are using is so huge that they should pay some kind of fees that is of high value."
