    "content": "The Committee will debate and submit a resolution to the IPU at its 135th Assembly. I think this is a high profile position for Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and we were very proud as Kenyans to have the Kenyan Delegation taking top positions led by our Speaker. Normally when we go to these meetings, we split up and Members participate in debates. Solutions come out of the debates and resolutions are then adopted at the General Assembly. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, meetings of the 134th Assembly included:- (1) The Assembly: General Debate: where members were provided with an opportunity to exchange views on ways of reviving the interests of the younger generation in the functioning of parliaments. (2) The Standing Committee on Peace and International Security, where members deliberated on a draft resolution under the topic, Terrorism : The need to enhance globalcooperation against threat to democracy and individual rights; (3) The Standing Committee on Democracy and Human Rights, where the Committee deliberated in an interactive debate, the subject of it next resolution: Thefreedom of women to participate in political processes fully, safely and withoutinterference. Building partnerships between men and women to achieve this objective. (4) The Standing Committee on the UN Affairs, where the Committee commented on the new process of electing the new UN Secretary General. This position has not yet been filled because the elections have not been held and institutional arrangements have not been made for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We know that the world today is focusing on SDGs. These are issues which they have picked up like climate change, poverty and many others. SDGs were transited from the MDGs which were unfinished business for most of the countries. However, we had a country like Korea which made a record in eradicating maternal and child mortality.
