    "content": "greater role to play, together with Hon. Jude Njomo, of the banking interest rates capping fame. He can now take that experience to Africa to share what he did in the National Assembly and also deal with matters of facilitating trade and investments, because dealing with matters of interest rates has something to do with trade and investments. They will also be with hon. Beatrice Kones, who is also an experienced legislator. My colleague and former Senator, who is now a Member of the National Assembly, hon. Janet Ong’era will also be with them. I was appointed by this House to represent Kenya in the PAP together with hon. Ong’era and she is the one who will have the institutional memory of what has been happening. She will also be the one who will tutor other Members so that they can be in tune with what is happening in the PAP. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an area in which I have a lot of interest and I would have said so many things but I will not, in the interest of time. I schooled in the University of Nairobi, but I also had the opportunity to study trade and investment law in South Africa at the University of Pretoria. I am, therefore, nostalgic about Pretoria and Midrand, where the PAP is located. I am also nostalgic about issues of trade and economy of Africa and I could write a whole PhD thesis about it. I can speak here for the whole day because I still have about 55 minutes, but I do not want to do that because this is an important day. We have so many businesses that we must complete. Mr. Speaker, Sir, This is a straightforward Motion. I request my colleagues to join hands to approve these colleagues to go and serve us in the PAP. Let us tell them to go and serve the world, make a difference and leave a mark in Midrand and in Africa. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and, in the absence of the Senate Minority Leader and in the spirit of unity, which is purely discretional, I request the Senator for Kwale County, Sen. Boy, to Second this important Motion."
