    "content": " Hon. Nakuleu, while you are on your feet just hold on. Well, I was not in the Chamber when the Leader of Majority Party was moving or was making his speech, nor did I follow the discussions by hon. Members who contributed to this conveyor belt theory. But I think it is also good to notice that the treaty establishing the EAC, which is an Act of Parliament in this part of the world--- Before, we did not have the privilege of examining Bills coming from EALA. For the first time now, we have an opportunity because before, it would go directly to the Executive for enactment. Now we have an opportunity as the National Assembly to re-examine it before the Executive can also put its pen. I have not heard people praising that development in law, that National Assembly is able to re-examine the Bills that are being passed in EALA, leave alone the conveyor belt theory. But again, you as the National Assembly, you have an opportunity to debate those issues where you feel there should be an amendment. Where you feel there are deletions required or where you disagree, you should show those disagreements. That way, we will have a nice Bill that has been thought of by everybody in the EAC. Let us hear your last comments on that and then you sit down."
