    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will start by congratulating the Minister. As the House is aware, this is our youngest Minister in this Cabinet and he has been able to succeed where many had failed, by the realization of this East African Common Market ratification. Therefore, I want to congratulate him, his Assistant Minister and his officers. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the integration of the East African Community, I would like the Minister to be aware that the success of the integration of the East African Community is being looked upon in the whole of African region as a model. The success of this will be eventually what would lead to the African region as a union integrating. Therefore, the onus is on this Ministry together with our partners in the East African Community not to let down this region. If anything, I believe we can be a lead in this region. There has been a lot of negativity spoken about the partnership in this country. I believe that there is a bit of work that needs to be done is creating awareness on the positive aspects that we can gain as Kenyans as well as Ugandans and Tanzanians, so that there is no fear or mistrust amongst ourselves. But I just want to congratulate this Minister and say that this Ministry is really a key Ministry because of the integration and the new Constitution that has just been passed by Kenyans. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
