Speeding up integration EAC chief’s top priority
NEWLY appointed East African Community (EAC) Secretary General Dr Peter Mathuki, a Kenyan national, has kicked the ground running with the theme of speeding up the bloc’s integration.
At an evening reception organized here by the private sector at the weekend, Dr Mathuki said he will focus on achieving ease of doing business in line with the common market protocol.
The EAC is already a customs union and in principle geared to establishing a common market, and has also explored ways of forming a monetary union, the last format having died in 1966 paving the way for the creation of independent central banks in the region.
