    "content": "African Parliament, the African, Caribbean and Pacific-European Union Joint Parliamentary Assembly and other regional integration bodies. It is my hope that the drafters of this Standing Order had in mind that this Committee on Regional Integration is purely mandated to interrogate matters on regional integration knowing that all bilateral agreements mainly originate from those joint parliaments. As such, I am concerned that this is the second Motion… I wish you can guide the House on this. Although I have written a letter to the Liaison Committee, unfortunately, we have not been able to sit for the last two Wednesdays. So, if you find it well, you can still guide me where I should execute this matter further. In my view, it is premature for this House to debate the Motion on this Report before it is examined and interrogated by the Committee on Regional Integration. For purposes of strengthening this House… At times, when committee members debate a report that they have interacted with, they shape the debate in the House. A Member like Hon. Muriu may not be well informed about the Pan-African Parliament proceedings. When Members of the Committee on Regional Integration, who are more than the two who are nominated speak on these matters, the House will be able to follow the debate and it will have more understanding and debate from a point of authority and information. With that, I beg that you give guidance, although I can see Members who wish to discuss the same."
