In terms of finances and budget, our country is running a huge deficit Budget right now. We are not so sure about the situation with the other countries. The clarification we want to seek is: What other implications are there for us walking into a federation or a common market with countries that essentially have problems in managing their deficits including ourselves? What are the implications in terms of our tax base? Are we going to allow people coming into Kenya to trade and have the benefit of our markets and we do not have the benefit of taxing them? For example, will they be taxed from Tanzania, then we lose our tax base and yet they are sharing our facilities in terms of creating wealth? What is the implication of that for our country? Are we well protected enough because I am worried about that?"
