• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Lastly, they said, in that Committee, that it is important that we work out a Regional Climate Change Bill that will fast-track the implementation of the East African Climate Change Policy. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Our Committee also looked at the report of the EALA on the Committee on accounts for on-spot assessment of the international audit systems of the East African institutions. There are various institutions that are owned by the EAC. One of them is the Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization. We have the Inter-University Council of East Africa and the Civil Aviation Safety and Security Oversight Agency, which is commonly known as “CASSOA”. It is worth noting that all these EAC institutions are based in Uganda. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: A look the Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization was able to show the Committee that Rwanda and Burundi, despite having joined the EAC seven years ago, were not members of this Organization. This is the case yet they have done all that they were supposed to do to be admitted to the Organization. However, the recommendation was that the EAC expedites the process of amendment of the Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization Convention to be able to include Rwanda and Burundi, so that they can benefit out of the process. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, they also noted that there is need to improve on the governance structures that manage the institution as an EAC institution. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: We also looked at the Inter-University Council of East Africa. The purpose of this Council is to facilitate networking among universities within the EAC. The Committee of EALA noted that there were internal audit problems in some institutions within the Community. Even if this problem was there, it was not being addressed because no auditor had been employed to manage the institution. Overall speaking, the Inter- University Council of East Africa was best managed in terms of audit queries. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The Committee also looked at the Civil Aviation Safety and Security Oversight Agency (CASSOA). This agency is able to pool regional resources together to create safe and orderly development of international civil aviation. CASSOA also deals with training aviation inspectors within the partner states, so that we have a safer aviation process within the EAC. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: One of the challenges that CASSOA has been facing is lack of enough funding to work on all its mandates as an institution. The Committee, therefore, observed that CASSOA sits on land whose ownership is not clear as it has never been issued with a title deed. Those are some of the issues that the Committee addressed in its report. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it was also recommended by the EALA Committee that the Committee further requests the EAC Secretary-General to appoint a representative to the boards of the East African institutions. This will bring much ownership to the institutions and their managements. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: It was also noted that capacity building programmes, especially for the internal auditors, ought to be put in place for purposes of evaluating their status. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On the report of the Committee on general purposes on the EAC Annual Reports for 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and 2011/2012, it was noted that the reports were not presented on a timely basis. The recommendation by the Committee of EALA was that there should be a review of the modus operandi of the reports presentation to the various committees within EALA. view
