Editor,I fully agree with Allan Brian Ssenyonga. I think the East African region has excellent development plans and effective country-specific public policies to drive socio-economic transformation, but harmonisation is lost in too many political speeches – or the pace is rather to slow too show any tangible results.There is perhaps need for a more realistic "score card” for the community to measure implementation pace in all key areas, and allow for results to do the talk.Unfair international trade models between the rich West and poor African nations has been said to be one of the obstacles to African economic growth and development since independence. African leaders have taken to the floor, and spoken at length, one after another at AU and other important forums for decades to address this issue, but most (if not all) recommendations remain locked up in shelves to date.The time to start seeing, feeling and touching results accruing from EAC integration process was yesterday. We should limit space for those talented speech writers because they are not game changers. We must instead engage hands-on implementors, or else change remains elusive.
