    "content": "Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) countries, is a threat to regional and peace integration. The policy also aims to project Kenya’s image, prestige and promote multilateralism. In the last one year, we have seen many Heads of State visiting this country from the time the report was tabled by His Excellency the President in March last year. We recorded the highest number and that has helped in projecting Kenya’s image internationally. This House has pronounced itself severally on the ratification of treaties which have been brought by the Executive, as required by the law, for them to become legal and effective. That has been part of the Executive’s work in the last one year in promoting Kenya’s multilateralism in the global world. As the Mover has put it clearly, there are some very important multilateral agreements which in the last one year, made Kenya effective and attractive. We made pronouncements on some of them including the African Union and the African Institute for Remittances (AIR) which is now operational. The United Nations Environment Programme headquarters is based in Nairobi and had 54 member countries, but now has the entire membership of the United Nations (UN) which is 193 nations. That is an achievement of the administration of President Uhuru Kenyatta in the last one year. Kenya’s profile in the international scene has continued to rise. We have hosted some of the first programmes ever held in Africa. Because of time, just allow me to, very quickly, mention the last report in which His Excellency the President, as mandated by the Constitution, provides supervisory, coordinative, integrative and oversight roles on national security. The third report contains a summary of security threats to the country and measures taken to overcome and deal with them. Some of the recommendations on how the administration intends to overcome them have been enumerated. Just add me one minute to talk about the myriad security challenges like radicalisation, violent extremism and cattle rustling. We had a Motion for Adjournment on Tuesday in this House concerning conflict caused by cattle rustling. Others are cyber threats and regional instability. I can see my time is over. I second the report."
