    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I wish to second the Motion for the adoption of the six names to form part of the Joint Committee that will oversee election of Members to EALA. Without belabouring the point, we cannot get the importance of EALA in a wider context of our desire as East Africans to eventually end up within one political federation. It is therefore in our interest that EALA continues to play its rightful role, and continues to get strengthened so that as East Africans, we will eventually bring down all artificial barriers that divide our people. It is also important that we go about these elections properly as envisaged by the East African Community Treaty. It is on record that previously, when we did not get it right, the courts had to intervene. Indeed, the East African Court of Justice in Prof. Anyang Nyong’o’s case settled the matter of how to go about election of Members to EALA by respective partner states.
