Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I acknowledge and note the Report on PAP. It raises a lot of concerns and good points. I am not a black African. I am a brown African, as my friend says. Since the early 20th Century, African countries...

Hon. Shakeel Shabbir (Kisumu East, Independent) Okay. I withdraw and apologise. However, we had somebody who definitely was not an African chief. The point that I am making is that we must not trivialise the fact that Africans want to get together. We must not trivialise the fact that common...
