The EAC needs a very serious discussion on peace and security. At our boundaries, quite a number of issues surrounding security are reported every day. Talk of Migingo Island and the Kenya- Tanzania boundary at Namanga; insecurity is being reported. It is either in terms of trade, cattle rustling, boundaries, trade related crimes. There is a lot that we need to discuss about security as member States. We need to push forward the issues of integration in terms of economic development."}
