    "content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Motion. Hon. Speaker, let me start by congratulating you and your deputy for having been elected to lead this House. I also want to thank the people of Butula for giving me a second chance to represent them in this House. Butula has been unfortunate in the past in that one is only elected for one term. This time, they gave me a second chance. I sincerely thank them and assure them that I will work with them very closely. As for this Motion, I support the Committee that has been appointed. However, we need to make sure that the people we appoint to the EALA are qualified and can represent our country very well, particularly in trade between our country and the other partners. The quality of the people we appoint to EALA must be above board. We need to make sure that Kenya is well represented and that Kenya appoints people who are going to lead the Community into working together for the benefit of the people of East Africa. Those of us who live along the Ugandan border know what it means to be together with our neighbours. If our neighbours are not cooperative, we might not have peace along our borders. Because of bad blood, you can have people fighting over very small issues. So, let us have good representatives at EALA. With those few remarks, I thank you once more for giving me this opportunity and I thank the people of Butula for electing me for a second term."
