{Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has commended President Uhuru Kenyatta for his political goodwill to the East African Community.}
Speaking during the formal handing over of the EAC chairmanship to President Kenyatta on Saturday, President Museveni said through political goodwill, the time taken for goods to reach Kampala from the port of Mombasa had reduced from 18 days to three, while it only took four days for cargo from the port to reach Rwanda.
President Museveni praised the Kenyan government’s commitment to enhanced regional trade and urged EAC member countries to hasten the process of integration.
The Ugandan leader also claimed Africa was facing a threat to its sovereignty from the Western world and integration was the only option.
He expressed gratitude to Kenyans for launching a renewed resistance movement against imperialism and hegemonism by the way they voted against arrogant meddling in their internal affairs.
“The way the Kenyan people voted last March was the second but peaceful Mau-mau resistance,” he said.
