He said the West was not happy by the recent visit of the Chinese Premier who together with President Uhuru Kenyatta signed over 15 development agreements.
The legislators said terrorism is an international menace that calls for concerted efforts in fighting it.
The MPs also dismissed plans by the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) to impeach President Uhuru Kenyatta over the Government decision to pay Anglo Leasing companies.
They supported the move to settle the debts, adding that the coalition will use its numerical strength to shoot down the impeachment motion.
They said the Government has started issuing Euro bonds for the pay out to the companies and dismissed Cord as a spent outfit that was on the verge of collapse due to lack of leadership that has been occasioned by the absence of its leader Raila Odinga.
“It is the Government obligation to settle the debts because if it fails to do so, the country’s credit rating will be in doubt which will lead to a snub by international lenders. If that happens, the Government will be forced to borrow from the money markets, a move that will push up the interest rates,” said Benjamin Langat, Ainamoi MP.
High interest rates, he added will stifle economic growth because local borrowers will be unable to access credits for investments.
