    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the monetary issue was ratified in November last year. Ours is just to approve the report and we are not putting the cart before the horse. We are ratifying what was applied in November last year and, therefore, we, as a Committee went ahead to talk to stakeholders and those people who can shed more light on this matter. We came to the conclusion that we, as a country, and because the others had followed suit, we should also support ratification. This timeline, as one of my colleagues who was opposing it said, we should stop it and start it when the time comes; this is a process and a process has timeframe when it starts. Therefore, that is why there is a timeframe and I support it. This is so that all the teething issues, which could not have been ratified and captured in the report, can always be corrected. There will be time to correct the same, and also that is the time we should get even the public – the residents of East Africa or the citizens who will be using this document - to satisfy their goals. They should be sensitised with time by the time we come to the political federation. All these others will have been checked, balanced and purified to the extent that all the citizens will be comfortable."
