EAC Partner States have no option but to accelerate the integration process
East African Community Secretariat, Arusha, Tanzania, 5th May, 2021: East African Community Partner States have no option but to accelerate the integration process if the region is to become competitive in the global economy, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has said.
President Museveni said that failure by the EAC Partner States to form a stronger, more cohesive bloc with a bigger market would be disastrous for the region in the long run.
“Integration is not really something we will do or not do. It is a must. If we don’t we shall end up in a very bad situation. The question we should be asking ourselves as we seek to integrate is why need to integrate. If we can answer that question, the how will become quite easy,” said President Museveni.
