    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Article 124 of the Treaty specifically provides for the arrest and surrender of fugitive criminals within the EAC. Furthermore, the new Constitution states that any treaty or convention ratified by Kenya shall form part of the law of Kenya under the new Constitution. In this context therefore, it can be argued that to the extent that EAC treaty forms part of the laws of Kenya under the new Constitution, the arrest and surrender of the persons in question pursuant to the provisions of the treaty cannot be said to be in violation of the Constitution. Kenya, therefore, had legally binding obligations to arrest and surrender the persons in question to Uganda for prosecution."
