Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I wish to support the adoption of this Report because East Africans, for a long time, have been bound together by our history and the co-operation which has continued to happen between them. In fact, this is the right time for us to intensify integration and the common market.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when this comes before us, I start reflecting on the dysfunctional defunct East African Community (EAC) institutions like East African Airways (EAA) and others. We have, especially in my constituency, people who worked for those institutions and they have unfinished business. They have not been paid their dues and through this, I see an opportunity for them to reflect on this and, maybe, make claims of their unpaid dues.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the co-operative movement is very important. It is responsible for the economic emancipation that has happened in Kenya. This is an example of best practices that we can share within the East African regional economic institutions so that we can all move together alleviating poverty among our people.

The educational agenda is critical. If we have to promote a common market, then we have to have a common basis for human resource development. We have had a lot of questions on whether or not some of our economic institutions are meeting the standards of their graduates.

Having put together this wonderful region of East Africa, it is only fair that we work together as has been the case in history.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to speak on this Report. I would like to take this early opportunity to thank the PAC, and particularly its Chairman, for presenting this Report in the manner he did. The details got down very well with us. We were able to understand what is happening and what the Committee is focussed on.

Obviously, we are concerned about the backlog that has been talked about. Even as we discuss these Reports, which are on accounts of five years ago, we still have a lot of work to do. I was thinking that we should be looking at ways of fast-tracking the examination and adoption of these Reports, because we still have a backlog of work to do. Kenyans are waiting for the outcomes. 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.

From this Report, we see an aspect of laxity on the part of public servants, who are supposed to expedite the work of managing public resources. We should address such matters. I am happy that the Constitution has put in place timelines. You have drawn our attention to that fact. What we should be hearing alongside these belated Reports are the strategies that are going to be used to fast-track future Reports. We should not close our eyes to “Bwana Mukubwa” syndrome. The reason as to why public institutions are not delivering, why they have the excesses and commissions that ...
