I have been in communication with the CS in the Ministry of East African Community (EAC) and Regional Development and he told me that he is part of it. I had also contacted the National Treasury and Planning as well as the Head of Public Service. However, unless they are officially invited to the Senate, they might take us casually. I am confident because I have also tried to reach the President on the same."}
