    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate your office and the Office of the Clerk of the National Assembly for work well done. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Parliament is leading the path on reforms. I recall the way the outgoing EALA Members were picked in the Ninth Parliament. If you compare that process with the way elections were done in the Tenth Parliament, you will agree with me that there have been a lot of reforms undertaken by this country since then. I also want to point out the fact that the exercise that we have carried out today is historical. When I was contributing to the Motion on the Election Rules for Members of EALA on the Floor of this House, I talked of integrating the region, taking into account the interests of the people living on the borders of our country; from Lunga Lunga to Malaba. Those are the people who are most interested in the integration of the East African Community because of the challenges they face daily. I am happy that today’s elections have been very historic in that two people from communities living on the borderline of our country with our neighbours have been elected."
