    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I greatly thank Sen. Poghisio for contributing to this Motion. I join him in congratulating Hon. J.B Muturi on his election to the CPA African Region. That position places Kenya at a very good point in Africa, both politically and economically. Therefore, I once again join Sen. Poghisio and other Senators in congratulating Hon. J.B Muturi. Hon. Poghisio also talked about the benefits of CPA membership. I encourage Members to register and pay an annual little amount of around Kshs2,000. There are great benefits. He just indicated to us that when they visited the House of Lords, those who are Members of CPA were given privilege and first priority. As well espoused by Sen. Halake, whom I thank for contributing, the issues of slavery and human trafficking are core to her key interest and passion which is human dignity and social economic rights of people. That was a major topic in the conference and Parliaments committed themselves to establish various legislative frameworks to ensure that this is curbed. The Conference happened when there was a video going round of certain Africans from West Africa who were mistreated in the Middle East. Therefore, it was quite a topical issue. I agree that HIV/AIDS is still a challenge in Africa and it is most rampant in countries in Africa compared to the rest of the world. The issue of vigilante groups that create conflict in the name of trying to bring security was validly discussed at the Conference and countries, especially, within the East and Central African committed themselves. We hope that when the 50th Conference shall come to Kenya, we shall receive good reports on how parliaments across Africa have tackled these issues. With those few remarks, Madam Temporary Speaker, I reply."
