    "content": "of the lawyers who challenged Kenya’s perceived elections to the EALA sometimes in 2005 or 2006, thereabout. It was very embarrassing but it was an interesting case. I hope they will look at those authorities, the case laws; even books have been written. It has become a case study. Every university student is taught using the case. Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o was one of the litigants. It is famously known as the Anyang’-Nyong’o Case . It made history because the rules were amended. In fact, the rules that the Committee will look at have been amended several times. They also need to look at the history and see why the amendment was necessary. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also made history because that case against Kenya’s election of representatives to the EALA made the Summit to constitute an appellate court. I was the first lady to appear before it representing Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'- Nyong'o and others who were aggrieved with the manner in which Kenya purportedly elected their representatives to the EALA. It is important for this Committee to perform its mandate as required because that will also enhance the standards and ensure that the people who represent Kenya will become cooperative, active and put Kenya’s best interests at heart so that we can make East Africa a better place. It is unfortunate that even having been at the Senate all this time, I have not felt the interaction between the Senate or Parliament as a whole with the EALA; but there has been a lot of interaction between EALA and the East African Law Society where they have fought for legislations and harmonization of the laws, especially concerning gender. They have done a lot of work. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
