00:00 I want to invite you.
00:02 Having done so, allow me to ask you my question.
00:05 Haiti is 12,119 kilometers away.
00:13 It takes 13 hours of flying to reach Haiti.
00:17 And the cheapest flight, Minister, is 220,700 shillings.
00:25 You have justified our presence in regional missions
00:31 by attributing it for the need for us
00:36 to be part of securing peace, security,
00:40 and stability of our regions.
00:43 Given the statistics I've given you on how far away Haiti is,
00:49 could you tell us what are the benefits
00:52 and what are the intended consequences
00:55 the government hopes to achieve by taking our troops to Haiti?
01:01 Cabinet Secretary.
01:06 Madam Speaker, the last question,
01:12 I think with a lot of respect to my colleague
01:16 when I came to Parliament, I found him in this same chamber.
01:21 There used to be a library next door.
01:23 I don't know whether it's still there.
01:25 Many, many years.
01:27 I want to find the last question to the Minister of Interior.
01:31 So ask, please take time, invite Professor Kendiki,
01:37 give him the statistics of the distance
01:39 and how many flights go there and the hours.
01:42 It's not my domain, so I'll refer that to Professor Kendiki.
01:49 And I'm sure the House has the powers,
01:51 using the standing orders to invite him, even this afternoon.
01:55 Thank you.
