    "content": "I had to go to my county because I had a visitor – Bill Gates. Some time back, Parliament was in Seattle and I visited his office. I invited him to Kenya and, luckily, he came. The main issue that we found in this Report and could be ideal for consideration in future is that whatever happens to a single State happens to all Member States. Secondly, there was one time when this process was abused by Kenya. There was a court case at the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) and I was lucky to be one of the lawyers there. The court directed and we ended up with what we have now. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is why we have to choose out of three. Instead of selecting, there has to be an election. However, we have to balance gender, youth and continuity. One of the problems with the Kenyan elections is that we remove everybody and then end up having no institutional memory in EALA. Therefore, I urge Members, while they are voting to support this, to also look at that consideration, so that we can have continuity in EALA."
