    "content": " In replying, I want to say that the IPU in its nature is the parliament of parliaments of the world. Just like the Seconder said, it is important that whenever Kenya sends delegations to such fora, then it must send very strong delegations. I am happy that the delegation I led managed to get one of our own to get elected as the vice- president of the women caucus. I am very proud of Hon. Kihika for achieving that position of the world. The issue of the vote on the matter of Jerusalem has been touched by many of the Members who spoke on this debate. It brings to question the viability of the non-aligned movement many years after the end of the cold war. Perhaps, it is time the Republic of Kenya and other nations rethought their positions in terms of this movement. At that time, it was relevant to be non-aligned or aligned to either of the power blocs. Many years after the end of the cold war, it is time we relooked at our foreign policy, as a nation, so that we are not just a whimper of a nation. Kenya is a very strong country. Kenya must be able to stand up and be counted among the community of nations as a nation that does not duck when real issues come up that affect human populations. That is a very important matter that needs to be reviewed moving forward."
