David Ole Sankok, a member of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), has said that regardless of stature or status, all East African citizens must respect the laws of their host countries.

Speaking on Spice FM, Sankok emphasised that for regional integration, sovereignty, and human rights to be upheld, visitors must adhere to the internal constitutions of the countries they visit. "Even Martha Karua and her fellow activists must respect Tanzanian norms.

We cannot export activism to our neighboring countries.

Each nation is sovereign and has its own constitution," said Sankok.
