    "content": "It is very important for the country and the citizens to note that ratification of international agreements do not make them automatically enforceable in the country as law, even if they are ratified by our Government. They take the force of law once they are brought into this House. The House debates them and approves that they should be ratified to become part and parcel of our international treaties. This is what is happening here. Kenya and South Africa have entered into an agreement to co-operate on defence matters. This is the reason this House was asked to ratify this Agreement. In view of the importance of this Agreement and what this House has to do, I support the Motion and urge the House to adopt it."
