    "content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to second this Motion. It is a great privilege to have been accorded the opportunity to sit in this Committee in order to look at the election processes that are put in place to identify people who will represent Kenya in EALA. We request the House to adopt this Report on the basis that this is a Committee of the House. We have been out there working for the House and we have prepared a Report. Basically, the Report we are presenting to the House is for guiding the election of persons to EALA. It is good to remember that in the last 4th Assembly, Kenya, as a partner state of the EAC, delayed in presenting the names of its nine nominees to EALA. This occasioned a delay of six months to EALA's calendar. So, this time round, the Parliament of Kenya has gone ahead to try and fit in the EALA programme, so that the Assembly is not delayed again. This is the reason for having in place strict timelines for the election of persons to EALA. As a Committee, we tried to abide by that. As you have heard the Co-Chair say, we started on 25th October 2022 and by 12th November 2022, we were almost done with the guiding process of elections. Today, we have presented to the House names of nominees to be considered for election as Members of EALA from Kenya."
