What is stated therein, by the said Committee about the free movement of people has got pros and cons. First and foremost, I support this Motion because it is important for our country. The free movement of persons will have a lot of economic importance to our country. After ratification markets will open up. In Kenya, we are faced with a number of issues, especially when it comes to the labour market. There are many graduates from various universities with degrees that are very marketable outside ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, with free movement, this will mean our people will move to various countries to export their skills, and this will be a great gain to this country. So, by going out there, they will be paid in foreign currency and when it is brought to this country, it will improve our economy and status.

• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: as a result of the free movement. However, this free movement has only been done by our country and not theirs. It is very difficult to get into other countries.

We should also put efforts to ensure that DRC joins EAC bloc because ... view
