Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I can recall that during the previous session, Sen. Kinyua brought a Motion and I seconded it. Sen. Wambua also tried to follow up on this matter.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to also join you in welcoming the visiting delegation from Zambia. It is an honour to have them. I have noted that they are on a benchmarking visit and it shows that as Parliament, we are doing very well. Welcome. This is the Pan-Africanism that we need to see exhibited in Africa.

We need to encourage intra- exchange of best practices in Parliaments within Africa. ...
