Is EAC integration possible with current evictions?
AT THE beginning of next year, nationals of Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda will be able to move freely within the three countries using just their Identity cards, and in some cases, voter and school IDs. They also introduced a single tourist visa that will cover the three territories.
This was the first sign that the three countries are serious about regional integration and have taken the first step. Burundi and Tanzania, the two other member countries of the East African Community (EAC), are yet to come on board.
Rwanda took the first step by scrapping work permits for East African citizens because it recognized the importance of external exposure and sharing of skills and therefore opened its doors wide.
