    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker In order to iron out some of these problems that we envisage, there will be regulatory agencies that will sort them out such as the East African Monetary Institute, the East African Surveillance, Compliance and Enforcement Commission, the East African Bureau of Statistics and the East African Financial Services. However, because of the enhanced trade and a population of 180 million people, as opposed to the 40 million people that we have in Kenya, it means that because Kenya is dominant in various fields, we will have a bigger market. It means we can go and enter into Tanzania at will as opposed to now where we have to go to the borders. I believe these two pillars still present a problem – the Customs Union Protocol (CUP) and the Common Market Protocol (CMP), in that they have not been fully implemented. We keep hearing that these two pillars have been signed and so forth but they have not been fully realised. You cannot go from here and work in Tanzania without being asked for documents. You will be asked for documents and it will be a serious offence if you do not have these documents. So, we would like the full implementation of the CUP and the CMP so that there will be free movement of capital and labour across the lines. I do not want to add or subtract what has been said but, for me, I would like to support this Motion and urge Members of this House to support it because it is a plus and a win for Kenya. Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
