"content": "The Mover has explicitly explained why we need this Treaty. I am sure Kenya will benefit more than most of the member States. Remember IGAD comprises a number of countries, including Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda. When you look at the congregation of those countries, you reckon that those are all our neighbours. The IGAD has been present in Kenya for a long time. In fact, a number of specialised units or offices are present in Kenya."

"content": "Remember, some time back the Executive Director’s position was held by a Kenyan for two consecutive terms. So, we have actually benefited from the presence of IGAD here in the country and also at the headquarters in Djibouti. Remember all the specialised units that are available here mean employment to Kenyans and people from the region. Besides that, remember IGAD is currently involved in a number of activities. Peace and security are two of them. Currently, we have issues in Sudan, South Sudan and Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The IGAD has stepped in to facilitate that."

"content": "Above all, remember Kenya is a regional hub in terms of diplomacy and economy. By pioneering and ensuring that we step forward to ratify this Treaty for IGAD, we will show that we lead by example. Remember there is an issue of \"wait and see\" aspect from most countries. If Kenya ratifies this Treaty, people will feel that this is the way to go. I do not want to talk so much about IGAD. We all know what it does, what it has been doing and what it is about to do. The only thing we should do is to give the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) a legal framework for it to leap forward so that Kenya can benefit more. With those few remarks, I beg to second the Motion."

When I read this Protocol, I thought there would be no debate about whether we would ratify the Treaty establishing the IGAD because we are part of the greater Horn of Africa. We are on the Indian Ocean rim. We occupy both a strategic and central position in this region, and that is why the IGAD is very important for us, both strategically and geo-strategically. Kenya, Uganda, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, and South Sudan constitute the IGAD."
