    "content": "I am happy that under Article 4, it provides that, at least, two members of the five members states that shall be sent by the countries shall be women. I am happy that the treaty now looks at the constitutive architecture and also mandate. I have spoken to the mandate but even in terms of a constitutive architecture, the Parliament as currently constituted, includes members who are members of our parliaments. Like I was serving as a Member of Parliament when I was also a Member of the Kenyan Parliament. Now it will be constituted more like the East African Legislative Assembly where Members of Parliament will not be members of existing Parliament. They will be elected directly even though they will be voting in their individual capacities. I thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, especially for making a connection of the important role of this Protocol. We are hopeful of the election of our Party Leader, Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga, to the African Union Commission chairmanship. We hope that once he takes on the leadership, he will revamp it. That is why it is good that this should go ahead of that."
