    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the hon. Members who have shown interest in this Motion and contributed very positively on this Report. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to say that this Committee like few other delegations, have regularly submitted its report. We have ably represented this Parliament at the PAP. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) form the building blocks for the African Union. It is important that the RECs as represented, perhaps, report back to this House on the progress in the regional assembly, they do pass law unlike PAP. It is important that they appraise this House of the laws that are passed in the East African Legislative Assembly. You realize that a number of laws have been passed by EALA and they affect this country, but they have not been brought to the Floor of the House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the sentiments of hon. Amb. Affey that rotational sittings be done in various African cities or regions to publicise the role of the PAP. So far, that has not happened. But what PAP has done is that its Committees have visited various Parliaments. The President has addressed various Parliaments. We have also had, as PAP regional caucus meetings in various regions--- We had a regional meeting in Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda. I have no doubt Kenya’s will be soon. In fact last week, we had a Committee of Education, Culture and Tourism from PAP which was here in Kenya. We will discuss with PAP to see whether these sittings can also be rotational with a view to giving it the necessary publicity. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
