    "content": "Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I happened to have been in the first group after the revival of the EALA. I am very delighted to contribute and congratulate the five Members who have been appointed by our two leaders. I think this is the way to go. I want to congratulate the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader for negotiating quietly and bringing the five Senators to us. We know that they are extremely fair and intelligent people. We are looking forward to them doing the work that is before them. I would only like to say that EALA is a very important organ for us as a country because the East African Community is the market for Kenyan goods. It is the environment where Kenyans can move freely and do a lot of business. It is important that we continue to give the leadership that we have been giving to the Community. I will, therefore, have no doubt that the sooner we elect our members the better. It is unfortunate that our elections came in between and we were not able to complete the process earlier. Maybe, this could be our trend. We could select people immediately after our own election so that the calendar is almost fixed. We could even encourage the East Africa Community to fix the time so that we do not miss out on anything. With those remarks, I would like to support the Motion."
