    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion on extended jurisdiction of the EACJ. The EAC is well known for business. Most members of the community are very keen on doing business and this particular Motion will help us. Once we ratify this extended jurisdiction of the court, we will be able to do more business within the EAC member states. We all know that in business, there are bound to be conflicts and, therefore, extending the jurisdiction of the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) will help enhance and build confidence among member states so that when we do business together, or when we engage, then we will be able to do so with much more confidence and trust. We all know that we cannot be strong in terms of business without our partner states. We cannot do much if, within ourselves, we are not united and, therefore, moving in the same direction. It is, therefore, very important for us to work together. All of us in this House should work together and ensure that we build a country that will be respected by our partner states."
