    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Report that the Committee has brought before this House. I thank the Committee for the good work they have done in coming up with this detailed Report. I am one of the people who worked in the East African Common Services Organisation (EACSO). It is a wonderful thing for all the three countries to come together. It is important because the world is becoming smaller. The coming together of the governments of East Africa gives an extra impetus to our people to enjoy, visit one another freely and explore development opportunities in the region. The coming together by these three States gives our people a bigger say in international business. It opens up opportunity for more work and therefore we shall have more employment opportunities in this country. When East Africa was still one under the colonial government, we had one currency. It is not a new thing because our people will be more friendly and nobody from outside will subject us to division. Being a country which is a little industrialised than the others, we will benefit more through this set-up."
