President Yoweri Museveni has reiterated the need for East African integration, saying it is key to achieving prosperity in the region.
Museveni made the remarks during a ceremony in Siaya County, Kenya, where he was crowned a Luo elder alongside Kenya’s President William Ruto.
Museveni praised the progress made so far in the East African Integration process and urged leaders in the region to continue working together to achieve their goals.
He emphasized the need for greater cooperation in areas such as trade, investment, and infrastructure development.
The East African Integration process has made significant progress in recent years, with the establishment of a common market, a customs union, and a single tourist visa.
However, more needs to be done to promote greater cooperation and integration among member states.
Museveni’s call for greater unity and cooperation in East Africa is expected to resonate with leaders in the region, who are keen to promote economic growth and development.
The recognition of Museveni as a Luo elder is also expected to further strengthen ties between Uganda and Kenya, and promote greater cooperation between the two countries.
