Bowen","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":2256,"legal_name":"David Kangongo Bowen","slug":"david-kangongo-bowen"},"content":"The Committee did a very good Report. It is also good that we have this debate in this House so that we can get a chance to look at this report and come up with a proper debate and vote on it. Let us not bring party politics here. It is good that all the Members of this House are the electorate of these nine members. I want all of us to reason together and look at the merits and demerits of having the exact candidates and having more candidates so that we can get a chance to choose credible and able leaders to represent us in EALA. I have had time to go through some of the CVs of the many candidates and I have found they have very good CVs. I am very sure that those who are going to be elected to EALA are going to do a very good job of legislation and integration of the East African region."}
