    "content": "I would like to support the three Bills because if you look at the East African Community Cross Border Legal Practice Bill, you will find that it very crucial for the movement of legal experts to go and practise within the region. That movement must be regulated through a legal mechanism which is this Bill. The three Bills also operationalize the Common Market Protocol. You will realize that the EAC Treaty has four pillars and the Common Market Protocol is the most crucial pillar that allows movement of labour, rights of establishment, movement of goods and the rights of residents. Therefore, without this Bill being put in place, it will be very hard for the EAC region to operationalize the Common Market Protocol. Going back to 1977, one of the reasons why the EAC collapsed among other reasons was non-involvement of the East African residents in the decision-making process and all activities of the Community."
