    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion- THAT, this House notes the Report of the Parliament of Kenya Delegation to the 50th Session of the ACP Parliamentary Assembly and the 35th Session of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly held in Brussels, Belgium, from 13th to 20th June, 2018, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 20th February, 2019; and the Reports of the Parliament of Kenya Delegation to the 51st Session of the ACP Parliamentary Assembly and the Inter-Sessional Meetings of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly held in Brussels, Belgium, from 9th to 11th October, 2018 and the 52nd Session of the ACP Parliamentary Assembly and the 36th Session of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly held in Cotonou, Benin, from 25th November to 5th December, 2018, both laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 8th August, 2019. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Speaker, Sen. Faki and I attended the 50th Session of ACP-EU Joint Assembly. It took place alongside the 35th Session of the ACP-EU Joint Assembly. They were held from 16th to 20th June, 2018, and 13th to 15th, June, 2018, respectively in Brussels, Belgium. The session was preceded by meetings of three standing committees; the Committee on Political Affairs, Committee on Economic Development, Trade and Finance and the Committee on Social Affairs and Environment. The 35th Session of ACP-EU Joint Assembly and the 50th Plenary Sessions of ACP deliberated on various matters of concern to the member states and also exercised scrutiny over the European Commission, ACP and African Union (AU) councils through a question and answer session. I will highlight four areas of the deliberations that took place which are as follows- (1) Demographic Growth - the challenges and opportunities globally; (2) Global Impact of Migration - this is an issue of migrants from the ACP states moving to the West; (3) Immigration - how immigrants are being handles; and, (4) Fighting Xenophobia, racism and discrimination."
