"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we speak, we have other countries in EAC that have allowed free movement of goods from one country to another. We still have many countries that have a big problem in allowing free movement of goods. The other day, Tanzania decided to auction a large number of livestock from Kenya. In another incident, chicks which were being transported in a lorry were burned by the Government of Tanzania yet, every morning here in Kenya, there is a long queue of lorries entering Kenya carrying mangoes and milk from Tanzania. Only today, we had a lorry bringing in Lato Milk . I do not know whether it was from Uganda or Tanzania. Fish is coming into Kenya through all boundaries. All sorts of stuff are coming into Kenya and we have freely allowed it. However, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we still have issues of goods moving from Kenya to Tanzania and Uganda. Traders have complained about scrutiny of what they sell in Tanzania and other member states. I think the Forum of Parliaments should have scrutinized issues of implementation of EAC agreements so that we see the position of free movement of goods. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. "
