    "content": "Committee. As we speak, there is a meeting that is going on in Kampala and our President is there, yet the Committee is not participating. This is not the first time this is happening. We have had events in the country and outside the country that touch at the core of integration. Personally as Member of Parliament for Ugenya I went to this Committee because before I came to Parliament I used to work for the East African Community. I thought my expertise could be used in that regard. However, for the last nine months, anything that has come to this Assembly concerning this Committee is not brought before the Committee. It is taken elsewhere and I am told, mostly, to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. This is the first time this Committee is in Parliament and I would like you to make a ruling on it. We would like to know:- (i) which matters then should come to our Committee; and (ii) if an EAC Summit is not a process for integration, what is it? It is now ten months and we have not been participating. We do not have information and yet, our major role is supposed to enhance regional integration. I just request you to make a ruling on this and, probably--- At the Committee level, we have tried to talk to the Clerk and the Chairperson of the Committee, but we have not got any response yet. Could you, please, assist in this regard? Thank you so much."
