    "content": "realised that the East African Monetary Union is likely to take off very fast and with little barriers because of the customs and the level of interaction of the people of East Africa. Kenya and Tanzania have the Maasai community. So, there is a lot of cross- cultural interaction in the East African Region. Therefore, the actualising and operationalisation of some sections of the East African Treaty will be very easy just because of the commonality that exists in the East African Community. Finally, every country would want to see its economy and trade increase. At the second inception of the East African Community in 1999, when the three Heads of State came together, there was fear from some sections of the Community that coming together again would have a serious effect on the economies of these countries. However, five years later, there was a realisation that each country had benefited a lot in terms of trade volumes. Most of the countries that had balance of trade deficits initially realised balance of trade surpluses. Therefore, this issue of the East African integration process is an issue that every part of this continent should embrace. I urge this Assembly to adopt this Report. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
