    "content": "fully involved in physical cooperation, especially on tax jurisdiction with regard to the European Development Fund (EDF). As I said, the EDF is a sole contribution of the EU member states to the ACP countries. The impact and effectiveness of the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa on countries of origin and transit of migrants, and on combating the destabilisation effects of wildlife trafficking in ACP countries, was also discussed at length. The need to protect the environment, specifically the issue of wildlife trafficking, and in terms of forests, were also discussed. Wildlife and forests are one and the same thing. They are all part of the environment. It is in that regard that we are trying, as a country, to conserve the Mau Forest. Those things were discussed at length. The issue of wildlife trafficking and the need to promote the implementation of external dimension of the AU Action Plan against Wildlife Trafficking was discussed. I do not want to take much time. As I said, as the Kenyan delegation, we issued a statement on the hosting of the 15th ACP-EU East African Region Joint Parliamentary Assembly that took place from 11th to 13th April 2018 at the Intercontinental Hotel, Nairobi. That was after the 49th Session that was held in Brussels. I want to thank the Kenyan delegation for being actively involved in the matters that were discussed. I cannot exhaust what was discussed for three days in 20 minutes. Some of my colleagues are here to add more meat to it. Before I give them the opportunity, it is also good that I extend my appreciation to the Speakers of the Senate and the National Assembly for allowing us to attend the session and for facilitating travel and accommodation as well as providing logistics and technical support, in liaison with the offices of the clerks of the two Houses. I do not want to conclude without mentioning that we have a Kenyan team, led by the Deputy Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium and the EU, Mr. Patrick Zuzi, together with Mr. Githaiga and Madam Dorothy Nthiwa. They were at hand to receive the delegation and throughout the session, they provided us with technical support for the meetings. I heard some Members say that they have experience of being assistant ministers before. Some of us were full Cabinet Ministers and I have used that wisdom to present the Report. Therefore, on behalf of the delegation, I want to present and commend this Report to the House for information and noting. With those remarks, I beg to move and call upon Hon. Dida Rasso to second."
