    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I congratulate the Senate Majority Leader because for the first time, this House has received reports from the East African Parliament. For the last eight years or so that we have been in existence, we have never received reports from the East African Parliament. I hope that the Senate Business Committee (SBC) will find it necessary to create time and list these reports for our debate in furtherance to our commitment to the integration of the East African Region. There is very little interaction between national parliaments and the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), which ideally serves as the link between the legislatures of the member parliaments of the East African Community (EAC) states. This new window, to which I salute the Senate Majority Leadership, is a very good and innovative way of bringing to fore the Senators of the Republic of Kenya what goes on in EALA, and how we as a region must debate, understand and appreciate that our destinies are tied together. What happens in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi or South Sudan concerns all of us. This is a very good development. We must have time to debate this."
