    "content": " I was congratulating the Committee. We are honoured as a country today to host the Secretary-General of the East African Community (EAC), Mr. Peter Mathuki, who is also Kenyan. He is in the country with the Chief Justice of the East African Court of Justice (EACJ). As this Committee gets down to work, there are very many important things that they need to do. We need to send a strong delegation to EALA. One onerous task of this Committee is to ensure that they put together criteria that gives us the best. I acknowledge what my brother Hon. Mbui has said on the need for continuity in EALA. It is sad that this is the only country that sweeps everybody out and brings in a new team. When we get there as a country, we are disadvantaged because we have to start on a fresh page. It is important that we retain one or two people in EALA. I do not want to campaign for anyone, but it is very important that we retain some of them. I want to reiterate that we need to send quality representation to EALA. I think we had good representation in this Assembly and we look forward to having better and quality representation. When campaigns for EALA start, it is a very exciting time. I want to urge new Members to stay in the lobby when the campaigns start. It is a very interesting time."
