Agasha’s nomination comes at a time when the EALA is seeking to strengthen its role in promoting economic growth and social development in the region. The assembly comprises 9 elected members from each partner state, with several women members playing key roles in shaping regional policy.
Notable female EALA MPs include Winnie Odinga from Kenya and Jacqueline Amongin from Uganda, who have been instrumental in pushing for women’s rights and regional cooperation.
