Doing this will enable us to move forward as East Africa among, other regional organisations that we have in the world. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy and excited to see Sen.

As it has been suggested, we should also look for a forum even as we look into the future where we will have a direct vote for some of these representatives to EALA. We should create a forum so that we can listen to some of these people who intend to be The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
