    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is the issue of co-ordination of activities at the border post. There is the issue of lack of central depository information centre to link all the communication process. On the face of it, we have the East African Community. The issue of work permits has also been done away with, but burearatic regime has still remained in place. This issue needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency so that an East African such as Tanzanian, Rwandese, Burundian and Ugandans can have easy access to information and get necessary services. This is something that we can lead by example because countries are also competing for economic opportunity. There is also the issue of research on knowledge and attitudes of integration. When hon. Kajwang was doing his General Paper in 1976, he predicted that the East African Community was going to fail basing his prediction on prevailing political situation. Today, we want to predict that the East African Community is here to stay for now and in future. To that end, if somebody was to do a General Paper in KCSE, the prediction would be we need economic integration more than what we needed at that particular. The dynamics at the diplomatic, political, economic and global level have changed. Therefore, we cannot remain aloof and say the world will do this and that. We must show the world how some of these things are done and benefit from the great economic opportunity that is available in the region."
