    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not know a lot about maritime, but I did a bit of research. There are threats in the Western Indian Ocean Region such as Illegal unregulated fishing, piracy and armed robbery in the sea, and regulated exploitation of maritime resources within the States’ territorial sea and exclusive economic zones. To reduce or suppress these challenges, we need a coordinated approach. The Agreement provides a framework for the conduct of a joint coordinated operation between the Western Indian Ocean States. It also provides a framework for coordinated search and rescue of persons operating in the sea. Consequently, it will suppress the maritime threats in the Western Indian Ocean and enhance maritime security which will have a ripple effect of increased maritime traffic to the Port of Mombasa thus improving the economy. I urge this House to ratify this Agreement. Thank you."
