    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is good to mention that this is one of the reports that we were expecting as Members to know what is going on in Africa. There are so many things that Africa needs to do together. It is through this Pan- African Parliament that it will trickle to us. There are issues that are common to African countries like the wars that are going on in Africa that can be tackled by this kind of Parliament. In terms of resources, Africa is one of the richest continents yet it is not translated to Africans themselves. This is where African issues should be tackled and that is why they should come together and try to compare good practices in their Parliament. I remember in the African Organisation of Public Accounts Committees (AFROPAC) organisation, West Africa helped the Kenyan set up to see whether they are doing the correct thing or not. If you go to South Africa, there are organisations like Southern Africa Development Community Organisation of Public Accounts Committees (SADCOPAC) and when you compare notes, you can determine whether you are doing well or not. This is also where they should talk about issues that affect Africa. Africa is endowed with resources like minerals yet we find there is a lot of poverty. This is where we should concentrate and expect real reports so that we can integrate as Africans. Let me stop at that point."
