Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to attend the IPU meetings. I was a new Member then and I had not travelled a lot, but you saw it fit that somebody from Pokot should get an opportunity to attend IPU meetings. I moved an amendment to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2015 and 2016 which won the whole world, and they approved it. If it was not because of you, I would not have had the opportunity to play international politics. I am a Chairman of a Committee now. I do not know ...

For the benefit of the House, it will be good for Members to understand what IPU is. The “IPU” means Inter-Parliamentary Union and it was established in 1889. It is a very old institution which brings together Members of Parliament from all over the world and various parliaments both national and regional to discuss very critical issues. It sits in Geneva, but debates of the union normally rotate in different countries and continents for Members of parliaments to appreciate what happens in various continents.

The total number of all Members who meet under the IPU is about 880 from all over the world. That is a really huge number of Members. Coming back home, Members should understand that Kenya is represented by both Houses, namely, the Senate and the National Assembly. In the last Parliament, it used to be led by the Speaker of the Senate. I am told also in this Parliament, it will be the same thing. All Members go together as one delegation and deliberate on issues. It is very crucial for our House and the country to participate. This is ...
