• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. With all due respect to you, and looking at what has just happened now, the hurry with which my Chair has had to do this Report tells a lot in terms of how this House treats matters of regional integration. This is not the first time I am raising issues of regional integration. Every time these issues come up we want to sweep them under the carpet very fast; Members are not given a chance to take a keen interest in them. view

The reason these Bills have been brought to this House is because they have not yet been passed by EALA. We are at the stage of consultations. These are not laws of EALA.

• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Treaty provides that before EALA passes a law it has to go through consultations. This is part of the consultations that our Committee will look at; it will look at them based on this Parliament’s comments. We will the submit a report to EALA, which they will consider before they pass the law; these are not laws yet. view
