    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the nomination of these Members. This list is very well-thought-out. They know that they have their work cut out for them in terms of the issues being raised at the EALA. Those who go there must know that they have to defend the position that Kenya holds in terms of our bilateral and multilateral relations in Africa and East Africa, specifically. I hope that the team will also look at all matters as stipulated, in terms of balance and even getting new blood. Even as we make do with institutional memory, I hope that we also get new blood to take new ideas to the EALA. Hon. Speaker, EALA member-states should address the disputes that they have with their neighbours. Let us deal with issues of Migingo, trade imbalances between us and Tanzania, herders, maize and Maasais across the two countries. We have had issues with Tanzania. I hope that these Members will defend the integrity of the boundaries of this country and the position that Kenya holds. They hold the aspirations of all Kenyans. We should not always give in and become the underdog. I hope we can reclaim the position that Kenya holds in the EALA and the EAC. With those few remarks, I support the appointment of the Joint Committee. I hope that this work will be expedited, so that we are able to deal with the timelines at the right time. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
