    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank my colleagues for contributing to this Report. I commend this Report to all the Senators to read because there are a lot of practical solutions that can come out of this because of the nature of the way this parliamentary group operates, where we have three committees as I mentioned earlier, there is the Committee of Social and Environment, the Committee of Economy, Finance and Trade and a Political Committee. You will find that within the structure of this parliamentary group, we deal with very practical and current issues. As the Senator of Kericho County has stated, there are a lot of practical solutions that come out of this Report because, by the very nature of how we approach it, topics are fronted to us for discussion. There have been very interesting topics on various areas such as terrorism. We looked at the issue of terrorism in its global nature and reduced it to intercontinental relations that have been affected by it. Looking at this Report, you will find that there are so many issues that have been raised. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the Political Committee, we looked at the state of politics in various counties. We discussed the political situation in Kenya even after the ‘Handshake’. A member brought a Motion on the ‘Handshake’ and wanted to understand what it meant. We articulated the peace that has been experienced after the ‘Handshake’. We deal with very specific issues. The issue of immigration has been an eye-sore to everybody because xenophobia is not just an African issue. Xenophobic attacks are also experienced a lot in Europe. There have been cases in France where people have been fighting against anybody coming to their country. The issue of Brexit also arose from xenophobia. It was a national decision to take care of their border and isolate any entry without permission. The movement of Europeans has also been curtailed because of the Brexit. As mentioned by Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, this is a relationship that brings out a number of collaborative agendas that deal with everything from climate change to development co-operation. These are important issues to us because climate change has made the ACP States, particularly Africa, to be the solution providers without recognition. This is where you have the natural resource bank. This is where climate change is being ameliorated. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
