Many regions in the world are integrating. We have the European Union (EU) and many others, which have gone far. It is high time that we, in the EAC, realized that united we stand and divided we fall. That is why we should support these reports from EALA, which is the intermediary between the partner states. This time, the states are five. The former EAC had only three states.

which should be addressed, especially the monetary integration and the customs union - this Report should be our benchmark to show our commitment to this cause. Some of our partners like Tanzania have been dragging their feet for one reason or the other. Maybe they are jittery because of the consequences of 1977, but I believe that the current political and economic leadership and even the integration that we have had so far--- We should embrace this co-operation for the betterment of our communities. This will promote socio-economic life, tourism, infrastructure and many other aspects. We have been doing many ...

We, in East Africa, are lucky that we have very good arable and fertile land. However, because of global warming and other factors, the Sahara Desert is extending downwards while Kalahari Desert is extending upwards, and we are being squeezed in between. We should integrate so that we see how we can save our forests, water towers, lakes and ecosystem; we should not be caught pants down by the climatic changes that are happening in the world.

On the issue of the case, there are some people who filed a case with the High Court because of the location of the headquarters, but they were prevailed upon by the local leaders and the case was withdrawn. It is no longer there. I do not know whether whoever has provided this information sent somebody to the ground to verify the facts, or somebody just decided to put the court case in the Statement.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, last night, my people were terrorised throughout the night. I have not slept. I have been calling the police in Maua in South Imenti Constituency and in Lare in North Imenti Constituency. It took four hours for them to go to my constituency to rescue the people, because we do not have a motor vehicle, an OCS or any security machinery. For how long shall we keep on relying on our neighbouring constituencies? Can we get a clarification on that one? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ...
