    "content": "unfortunate that despite the fact that we are signed on to keeping our borrowing at 50 per cent of net present value, already even as it stands today, we have passed that ceiling. The reason why the EAC has never successfully integrated is because of our behaviour as Kenyans. Each time we go to Arusha, we set up beautiful meetings where EAC Heads of States sign protocols, but we come back to Kenya and believe that somehow we can only follow those rules in so far as it favours us, as a country. However, at a particular time, when we feel that we want to do things otherwise, we disregard them. Tanzania, Rwanda and all these other countries will never respect us if, we, as a country, do not respect the rules that we are setting. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, based on the evidence that is being placed before us today, I agree with the Ugandans, Tanzanians and the Rwandese who have been saying that the biggest stumbling block to the integration of the EAC is Kenya. I finally have come to agree with them based on the evidence that is being tabled here."
