    "content": "Bahamas and Kenya are tourist hubs. This Agreement will link the two countries that have a lot in common. This means that we will benefit from that country a lot. For those of us who are Christians, they know that Jordan is a place where those who confess some form of faith can visit. We know that Turkey is growing fast as an economic hub. I know our Committee has looked at the legal background to ensure that all these agreements have been entered into properly and all the relevant statutes have been adhered to. We are standing on a good ground. It is interesting to note that the Protocol between Kenya and Jordan was entered into back in 2008. It has taken over eight years to get it tabled in the House. The one for Turkey was done in 2014 and the one with Bahamas in 2016. While 2016 does not look far off, we could ask ourselves why it has taken two years to get the Protocol signed between our countries brought to this Parliament. That kind of delay does not help us and it does not serve the country well. It shows that those responsible or in charge of the process do not treat this exercise with the seriousness it deserves. It is important to be more prudent and ensure that the documents are brought on time."
