"content": "It is my prayer that those who will be chosen this time round, will not be like the past legislators, who have gone there and we never hear about them again. The only time we hear about EALA and EAC, is when the Executive Arms of governments are meeting in Nairobi, Arusha or some other place. We never get to hear about EALA. I wonder, why. In Kenya, we always hear what the Senate or National Assembly says but we also hear from the Executive. However, in EALA, it is like people just go and disappear. We never hear from them. We do not know of their sessions. The last time we heard of them was when they had cycle movements. They came to Kenya for a few days and then they disappeared. We do not hear of any Motions or anything. I appeal to those who will be selected this time round, not to let us down. Do not go there and kill East Africa. Do not go there and let us think that EAC is a Community of Heads of States. Let us hear debates and our views being expressed in EALA. Let us hear Motions being moved and decisions being made through the popular votes. We want to see a vibrant EAC Parliament. Do not go there to just pass the five years and create some Curriculum Vitae (CV). Let us see a difference. Madam Temporary Speaker, that is all I have to say."
