    "content": "Before the Constitution 2010, these agreements or protocols would have been entered into by the civil servants and Kenyans would not know what had been done and why it had been done. We want to thank the Committee for the work it has done. As we debate the Agreements on the Floor of this House, we are able to let Kenyans know that we have those protocol agreements between our country and the countries we have mentioned. This is one of the reasons why all treaties ratified must be brought to this House, so that Kenyans can know where they have agreements or where they can move with ease. The countries that we have mentioned like Jamaica, Bahamas, Turkey and Jordan have their own unique qualities that Kenyans will start benefitting from by signing these agreements. We know that we are an athletic country and we do the long distances while the Jamaicans do the short distances. This Agreement will help us benefit from each other. Once the air travel becomes easy, it means that our people can move from one country to the other. Jamaica is also a tourist hub. This means that tourists who go to Jamaica can also find their way with ease to our country. I am sure, and I hope, that this Protocol also addresses the issues of visas. Other colleagues have mentioned the cost of visa and the ease of getting them. We need to make sure that our people can move with ease."
