    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion by Hon. Muhia. The East African communities are one. We are one because we have a lot in common. For example, as the Maasai Community in Kenya, we share a lot with the Maasai people in Tanzania. We intermarry, engage in business and trade, practise pastoralism, and share similar types of work. When it comes to wildebeests, they move from the Maasai Mara National Reserve to the other side. We have a lot in common because we are brothers and sisters. The language is also one. Therefore, there is need for Governments to ensure that they integrate and bring us together so that we can benefit. We are one. There is no need to have a boundary because it is just a physical boundary. We do not even know that the boundaries exist because we feel like we are one. When I worked on the Anti-FGM Board, I could go to Tanzania and educate women on the effects of the female genital mutilation (FGM), because our cultures are the same. Therefore, I support the need for integrating the Governments, as we share a common culture, engage in similar businesses and trade, and our people are the same. We see ourselves as one community. Our governments need to come together and make sure that they sit together because it is only politics that is different, but all the other things are the same. For that reason, I support the Report by the Committee."
