    "content": "All partner states should fully commit to implementing the first two pillars of integration, the Customs Union and the Common Market Protocol. Also the Monetary Protocol as contained in the integration road map and all other protocols of the community. That is as far as the Protocol is concerned. On the Mutual Peace and Security Pact, the Committee having considered the Pact and examined the presentations from various Government agencies and pursuant to Section 8(4) of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, the Committee recommends as follows:- (i) The House ratifies the Mutual Peace and Security Pact. (ii) The Ministry of East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the National Treasury, the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, Parliament and all the implementing agencies should aggressively sensitize the public on the provisions of the Pact in line with the tenets of the people-centered integration process. Consequently, the National Treasury and Parliament should allocate adequate resources to the implementing agencies to facilitate adequate public sensitization. The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, the Attorney General and all other implementing agencies should expeditiously identify the legal reforms to be undertaken to facilitate proper and timely implementation of the pact. Those were our recommendations. This Committee expresses its acknowledgement and thanks the office of the Hon. Speaker and the Clerk of the National Assembly for facilitation. It further appreciates the technical support offered by the staff of the National Assembly, the State Law Office and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government in the production of this Report. I thank the Hon. Members of the Committee who diligently and actively participated in the activities of the Committee and their useful contribution in the compilation of the Report. Therefore, it is my pleasant duty and privilege, on behalf of the Committee on Regional Integration, to present this Report on the East African Community Peace and Security Protocol and the Mutual Peace and Security Pact for consideration and approval by the House pursuant to Section 8(4) of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act 2012 and Standing Order No.199(6). I, therefore, beg to move and request my Committee Member who is present, and who is none other than Hon. Alloys Lentoimaga, to second this debate."
