    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you for the advice. My concern is with the nomination of the EALA members. This is the second time in the History of the East African Community (EAC) that the function of EALA may be put into prejudice because of the inability of the Kenyan Parliament to select or appoint members to that House in good time. My concern is the bad name that we are creating with that perpetuity. Indeed, the EALA is not sitting because of an injunction that was raised in the East African Court of Justice (EACJ). It is a pity that we have Sudan that is now following in the footsteps of Kenya. They are finding themselves in a difficult situation with regard to the nomination of members to EALA. The important issue here is to note the significance of coming out with the treaty within which the East African Community operates. I happened to have been an Assistant Minister for East African Community sometime back. It is an organ that deserves to be taken with pride by all the membership of the 5 countries. My advice to our Houses is that let us not enjoy the gimmicks or game that is now being played by the major parties of our Parliament. The Jubilee and--- I do not know whether NASA is a party; it is not to our fame and pride as Kenyans."
