    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I sought to know how much the partner states had given. I learnt that by that time, Burundi had not paid anything, Kenya had made 80 per cent of its contribution and Rwanda 12 per cent of its contribution. I am appealing to our brothers in Rwanda to do better. They used to do so well by making their contribution on time. What is happening? Why are they lagging behind in terms of contribution? By the time we went for the EAC Inter-Parliamentary Games, South Sudan had not made any contribution. I do not know how much they have paid by now. The United Republic of Tanzania had not made any contribution to the EAC. I questioned the Chairperson in charge of the planning of the games on how he could be with us at the meeting, yet his country had not paid up what is due to the EAC. Uganda at that time had made 32 per cent of the contribution, yet that was in December. Given that the financial year was just about to end, the partner states should have been halfway through in terms of making their contributions. Somebody somewhere is sleeping on their job when it comes to the integration of the EAC. Our brothers and sisters cannot keep on saying that we are building the integration process when we are not making contributions. There are processes that had been proposed that we even give alternative source of funding. The Summit, where the President sits, was supposed to give directions on the alternative source of funding."
