The President, who is the sitting chair
of the regional bloc, wants the Community to become a shining example to
the rest of Africa.
He said the EAC integration process is
aimed at making it easier for the movement of people and goods which
will in turn increase trade and thus improve the lives of the people.
The President spoke when he met the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Director General Robert Azevedo at State House Nairobi.
The President said the benefits of
integration far outweighs all risks, adding that trade is an important
tool in enhancing peace and stability in Africa.
He said trade will help create job
opportunities, adding that he is willing to partner with WTO to increase
trade in the region and throughout Africa.
He cited trade cooperation between countries as one way of achieving political stability.
TRADE FOR PEACE
“Trade can be used as an instrument of peace in Africa,” the President said.
President Kenyatta said time has come for Africa to move away from an agrarian continent to an industrialised one.
“This is the time for Africa. We won’t
confine ourselves to agricultural activities but also industrial and
commodity exports,” he said.
Mr. Azevedo assured of the global trade
organization’s support to president’s vision of accelerated East African
Community integration.
Mr. Azevedo --who is on his first Africa
trip, commended President Kenyatta’s efforts in mobilising East Africa
leaders and citizens towards integration.
He said President Kenyatta has effectively used trade to unite people and advocate peace and stability in the region.
He said his organisation is in the
process of setting up programmes to help member countries in capacity
building in the integration process.
