    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a very important Motion that I would have loved to move when this House is full to capacity because it has a lot of implications on the economy, technology and many other things in this country. The Luigi Broglio Malindi Space Centre formerly referred to as San Marco Satellite Launching and Tracking Station is located in Ngomeni Village, Magarini Constituency, Kilifi County. It was established in 1962 by what was referred to as the Royal Technical College of Nairobi now the University of Nairobi (UoN) which signed an agreement with the University of Rome on behalf of the respective Governments that is the Republic of Kenya and the Italian Republic. The agreement was ratified by the two Governments in 1964 just immediately after Independence. It has been renewed several times. The first renewal was in 1st April 1987 which was meant to establish the National Space Secretariat under the Ministry of Defence. Another renewal was done on 14th March 1995 and was meant to extend the period for a further 15 years which expired on 14th March 2010. That validity was again extended up to 31st December 2011 to allow for further negotiations between the parties. On 5th June 2012 the validity of the agreement was further extended. It was meant for parties to conclude a new comprehensive agreement which was meant for cooperation on space matters together with the implementing agreements because at this time the implementing agreements came in. This Agreement has now been submitted to the House for ratification since then."
