    "content": "Meru County, UDA): Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to the debate on this Motion. I also sincerely thank the Chairlady for the good Report that she has tabled. One-stop border posts will make it very efficient for goods and persons to travel from one country to another within the EAC member States. That is why I support this Motion. Something to note is the multi-agency approach. You will find different agencies like the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) when you go to the border posts. After you are through with one agency, you find that others have gone for lunch and you have to wait for them to come back. That causes a lot of delays in movement. I support this Motion because the northern corridor is shorter on our side than on the Tanzanian side. However, they are not asleep, but are watching us. As much as the port is very efficient at the moment, police roadblocks and weighbridges are causing a lot of delays. I support this Motion to ensure easier movement of goods and people. I would like to, again, thank the Chairlady of the Select Committee on Regional Integration, Madam Muhia, for this Report. It is very detailed. It took the Committee a lot of time to put it together. As a Member of the Committee, I confirm that she made us work very hard to ensure that this Report was ready on time. I also support that we have One-Stop Border Posts."
