Its got to be known that since the day the EAC walls of mass business ventures were open, nothing much has been done. All we need is a demonstration, demonstration, demonstration and a demonstration, why? When you take a journey to the so called walls of Jericho (Malaba and Busia border) smuggling is the order of the day, not free market as it sounds. Any way this should not deter you from getting forward with your business across the borders. There was good news i over heard on the radio topping the waves of the country. Ministry of East African Community Affairs (MEACA) is now implementing a communications strategy which aims to reach out to all sectors of society and provide them with information about the common market and regional integration in general since people around the borders are already complaining.
Part of this communication strategy is engaging the public through the media, including television, radio and the newspapers, and engaging people at the local level through sensitization workshops, for example, Ministry staff have conducted sensitization sessions in the border regions, including Busia,Cyanika, Masaka, Katuna as well as in the coming months. we also encourage people to go the MEACA website for further information on regional integrations, or contact the Ministry for more detailed responses. So folks if you were worried like i was, not anymore should you be worried because MEACA will work to ensure that relevant information is available to enhance awareness and enable Ugandans take key decisions in the integration process. However, all EAC citizens too have to responsibility to find out how they can benefit from the common market. Together we can ensure that Uganda benefits from the common market.
