    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report and commend the Regional Integration Committee for a job-well-done. I am a former Customs Officer. I commend the Customs Officers across the country for the great job they are doing at our border points, especially those in far flung hostile border points. The One-Stop Border Posts are intended to reduce stoppage time. The main reason as to why they are being put there is for trade facilitation. The Port of Mombasa is the heart of East and Central Africa, especially with the expansion of the East African Community to include countries like South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The non-trade barriers that the Committee has proposed continue to be the reason why trade facilitation has not been completely achieved. Many Members have spoken about the road blocks erected by police officers. The road blocks have increased the transit time, for example, from Mombasa to Malaba and onwards. There are also One-Stop Border Posts in this country that have been closed. An example is the One-Stop Border Post at Lokichogio. It is actually a shorter border route to Juba than going through Limule in Uganda down to Lokichogio. I know this for a fact because I have worked The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
