• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Modern laws are very important. We will be receiving some in this House and others will go to the National Assembly, so that we harmonise our laws in the Continent. Without doing so, it becomes very difficult to do anything. Even trade measures have to be harmonized. This includes free movement of persons, goods and cross-border investments. There are so many issues that require modern laws, including free airspace. Currently, we are trying to work on something on free airspace. You find that someone coming to Midrand from West Africa, sometimes has to go to Paris, bounce into Nairobi City ... view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Those are some of the highlights from that Report. Of course, a debate ensued thereafter and Legislators made robust submissions. They discussed ratification of the Malabo Protocol, budgetary constraints in the Assembly and many more. Again, there are so many African Union agreements that I encourage Members to look at. Apart from the Malabo Agreement, let us look at the Abuja Agreement and others, where our Heads of State have given resolutions that affect the way we operate. They are proposing nice recommendations on the way forward. view

This accorded the MPs an opportunity to review Africa’s Development Blue Print, in relation to set targets and goals. view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Again, these are areas that we felt beyond listening in PAP, we should bring them down to our own Parliaments so that we move together. It is because opening up our Continent is very important. view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: The remaining ones are Motions that were brought by Members. Committee meeting reports were also tabled and resolutions and recommendations were put forward. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to end by thanking this House for nominating Sen. Mungatana and I to represent you in this Parliament. I assure Members that we will do our best and make sure that we are felt in the Continent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, although it is going to come in the next report, we are very proud as Kenyans.

• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank all the Members for all their contributions, for enriching this report and not only noting but also telling us a few issues that need to come up. Without naming the Members because it was very rich, it is true that the PAP has not been fully empowered. We are still at the stage of doing model laws. We need to proceed from those to making laws that must be implemented continentally. Secondly, it is important also that we move the ratification to our national Parliaments so that we can encourage the executives to ... view
