    "content": "competence. On the part of CBK, to the extent that the national Treasury spent a lot of time on this Report, we can only be happy as the National Assembly to take their views. I am also happy to note that this Report is coming at the time when our President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta is the Chairman of the EAC. I am also happy that Ms. Kandie, the Cabinet Secretary, is also the Chairperson of the Ministers Council. This is a good legacy that at the time they are leading the EAC the Kenya National Assembly has a chance to discuss the Report on the monetary union. It is credit to their leadership. I hope that this House will adopt this Report at this opportune time when the President is the Chairman of the EAC. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am also happy to note that of all the EAC countries it is only Kenya which has not ratified this process. It is only fair that Kenya, as one of the partners in the EAC and also one of the partners accused for having caused the collapse of the earlier EAC, does play its rightful role today. The National Assembly must accept that this Report is due for ratification. It is important to note that even after we ratified this decision today, it is not until another ten years that the decision becomes operative in the sense of having one currency."
