    "content": "Once they are taken to the mother countries, they are harmonised with the state laws of those countries. Today, we are doing a very noble job of ratifying this one in order to harmonise these laws with our laws. If something has to be decided, we do not have to go and look for the law to apply because these ones will already have been put into place. Equally, we also want to put into place the monetary implications whereby even the National Treasury will be involved so that we make a contribution to the East African Court of Justice (EACJ).We need to put our budget into it so that once we ratify it, we give our contribution because other countries have already done so. We have been lagging behind. We could have done this last year, but it is better late than never. The stage we have reached is ideal for making sure that we move at the same pace with the other member states of the East Africa Community (EAC). I urge those who will join the Regional Integration Committee to work hand in hand with EALA so that the Monetary Protocol can also be achieved. This one will put us in the map of the world as a community which has started working together, living together and doing business together. Therefore, that is going to harmonise all our things. Even the movement of East Africans within the EAC member states will be smoother. The bottlenecks that we encounter at border points have already been eradicated. We have customs officers in Mombasa from other EAC countries. We also have our officers in their borders. Therefore, the movement and trade in East Africa will be smoother and justice will also follow suit. Thank you. I support."
