    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, are we serious with this Community? Let me tell you one thing. When I was in Form VI in 1977, there was a question for us to predict whether the EAC would survive. Being students of Economics at that time, we looked at it and said that it will not survive because of the political bad will at that time. If this is the kind of support that we are giving the EAC, then we can say that it has collapsed before it starts. This is because we are not interested in it. We are more interested in our domestic politics than what we want to create as an institution of the East African people. How will we go to a federation when we love our domestic sovereignty so much? We must be conceding something. Whenever you want to create a community or whenever you want to create a federation, you must be ready to give away something. What is it that we are giving away? If there is a problem in the Assembly, you come back to the High Court of Kenya. What will the Court of East Africa be doing? What is its job? Why did we create it and why have we taken our judges there? Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is simple that what these rules seek to do is to solve the internal problems of that side. We are not going to help them to solve their problems. We should come clean and accept that \"party\" means what it means and \"party leader\" means what it ordinarily means. If there is a problem in an institution of East Africa, whatever it is, it should be sorted out by the East African Court of Justice. Those are the two points I wanted to raise. I beg to oppose."
