    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the adoption of the Report of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing on the ratification of Bilateral Air Services Agreements between Kenya and Jordan, Jamaica, Bahamas and the Protocol amending Air Services Agreement between Kenya and Turkey. I stand to support it. I accept that it is important enough to be discussed in a Special Sitting. The Air Services Agreement between Kenya and Jordan was done in 2008, Kenya and Jamaica one in 2014, Kenya and Bahamas one was done in 2016. The one between Kenya and Turkey was first done in 2009 and there is now an amendment which was proposed in 2015. What has been happening all this time? We realise that as soon as they were initialed, Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were entered into. Basically, we have been operating all these agreements through MoUs which should not be the case. According to our Constitution, they should have been brought to this House much earlier than this. Therefore, I support."
