I was the one chairing the Committee when he said that the area being earmarked now is the one which was gazetted. He said previously it was another place.

That is why I am saying the problem is with the Standing Orders. I want to thank the Members who have contributed to this Motion. I want to make one clarification for Members to make an informed decision when the day for putting the Question comes. We are not talking about community land. The Report is seeking an approval for only the 876 acres which are privately owned.

This is an African Union (AU) proposed protocol because it has not yet come into force. According to the agreement in the AU, it will come into force when 15 states ratify it. This Report is about a conference that I and another Member of my Committee plus representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Office of the Attorney General attended in Dakar, Senegal. It was of two African economic blocs; The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the East African Community (EAC). Fifteen members from ECOWAS and the six members from the EAC amounted to ...

So, just to put the record straight, there is no protocol before the House because the Executive has not yet brought it here through the right procedure.
