    "content": "There is also the issue of compensation of local communities in the event of accidents in areas where the military is deployed. Those are some of the things that must be defined in any treaty, agreement or co-operation. As a Committee, we analysed this. We are satisfied that they are clearly spelt out. This Defence Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Kenya and the Government of the Republic of South Africa provides among others, framework for exchange, sharing and utilisation of the respective states’ experience, knowledge, military facilities and infrastructure. In my earlier remarks, I said that as a country, we stand to benefit from the expertise and knowledge of the counterpart state. When we exchange experiences of our military, knowledge, facilities and infrastructure that is a plus. It is a benefit to us, as a nation. This world has become very global. There are a lot of defence issues that require co- operation. That is even what we talk at times as multi-agency operation. Outside our borders, there are issues like tackling terrorism and sharing information technology on joint operations, especially in the coastal areas or maritime. Issues of security have become very global. Therefore, they require global strategies to handle them. One of them is defence co-operation. Mostly, countries make this agreement and co-operation to address some of the security challenges that they face as countries or globally."
