We have allocated them the Mini-Chamber at County Hall as their chamber for deliberations and various committee rooms. This Meeting, which involves both Plenary and committees sittings, is held on rotational basis amongst the EAC member States, in accordance with the provisions of Article 55 of the Treaty for the establishment of the EAC. The Sittings will among other things, deliberate on important regional matters, legislations proposed for harmonisation, and strategies to bolster socio-economic development within the East African region. In addition, EALA's commitment to promoting the principles of good governance, democracy and regional peace will remain at the core of the House discussions during this critical session. Indeed, the Meeting was officially opened and addressed by His Excellency (Dr) William S. Ruto, CGH, President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Forces during a Special Sitting held today morning, Tuesday, 5th March 2024. On my behalf and that of the National Assembly, I welcome the Members of the EALA to the country and wish them fruitful engagements during their Sittings in Nairobi. I thank you."
