Kagame calls for 24hr cargo transport in EA

KAMPALA - Border posts of East African states should operate 24 hours to help spur sustainable development in the region, President Paul Kagame has said. Kagame, who was speaking last evening at the ongoing Commonwealth Business Forum held in Kampala, Uganda, said that such unlimited operation can be achieved by employing talented and accountable officers to man the posts. The President decried the long delays encountered by transporters between the coast and inland markets.
