• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in consideration of the East African Community Co-operative Societies Bill, 2014 the Bill makes minimal reference to the EAC Treaty and the relevant statutes governing SACCOs in individual partner states.

• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is, therefore, my pleasant duty and privilege to, on behalf of the Committee on Regional Integration, table this Report in the House. Under the East African Community Cross Border Legal Practice Bill, the Committee dealt with the Bill clause by clause and reports the following. The definitions and/or interpretations under Clause 2 should be made in such a manner that the Bill recognizes advocates of the national bar associations; for instance, in the Republic of Kenya, it should recognize the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) as having met the stipulated qualification in that partner state. view
