    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one thing that this Bill has omitted-- - and I want to urge the Assistant Minister because normally, I do not have time to bring amendments to any Bill here. We are now integrating as East Africa and moving towards a federation. Bills that regulate professionals, whether they are doctors, engineers or lawyers must take the perspective of an East African integrated region. We must allow in this law engineers from Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda to be eligible for registration to practice as engineers, just like our engineers do the same in those countries. That is the only way we can move towards competition that breeds good quality and integration of East Africa. I hope that the Assistant Minister, at the Committee Stage - because I flipped through very quickly and saw no mention of East Africa as a region or an approach to integration - needs to tap from the region the very best that we can have."
