    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Sen. Hassan. I also did not know you could do that as well, especially when you do not want to bow. I am told when you exit through them, you do not have to bow. I was saying that the way to go is to strengthen and deepen our trade and commercial relationship with the countries around us. Until recently when some statistics were reviewed, people realized that actually Uganda is a much more strategic trade partners than all the countries in Western Europe combined. This information has not been available in the public sphere. The more we get this kind of visits or interactions we realize a dream of a faster East African Community and also the dream of a prosperous country faster than we would have thought. The Address by the Rt. Hon. President of the Senate of Rwanda also touched on the common aspirations by Kenya and Rwanda to achieve certain economic bench-marks. For Rwanda the set timeline is by the year 2020 and for Kenya it is by the year 2030. What this means is that just like Kenya, Rwanda has set itself certain targets and they are confident of achieving them. I am also persuaded as a Kenyan that what we have set for ourselves as a nation can be realized not only in 2030, but even earlier because we have witnessed that if we were able to keep our country peaceful and, indeed, our country has been peaceful for a while now, it is possible within the next ten years to make Kenya leap into great heights of prosperity and this will hasten our Vision 2030, so that it becomes a reality to the people of the Republic of Kenya.
