    Business owners in Rwanda express gratitude over EAC’s progress

    Rwanda | Business owners in RwandaFive years down the road, since Rwanda joined the East African Community a lot of progress in policy implementations, market union and other sectors of integration have been done.

    Early May 2012, during the Rwandan Finance Minister Francois Kanimba’s visit to Ngoma district, business owners expressed their gratitude as regards benefits of Rwanda’s entrance into the East African community.

    Christine Murebwayire an owner of a wine processing plant in Ngoma district said that establishment of the East African Community led to citizens of the 5 countries gain a sense of brotherhood.

    “During my business trip to Uganda, I met a lady who was more than willing to assist me develop my factory, arguing that she wouldn’t have any doubts investing in Rwanda too since it is more like one country.” Explains Murebwayire

    “More and more business owners from Tanzania and Uganda are increasingly showing interest in collaborating with us Rwandans, in a much different way 5 years ago when there was no East African community.” Adds Murebwayire

    All the other businessmen and women who took up the floor to express their take of the current East African community, expressed gratitude of how boarder customs have minimized procedures of human and goods transport.

    “We now take less time and requirements to cross any of the East African boarders not to mention how acquisition of licensees has been eased.” Urged one of the businessmen

    Rwanda officially joined the East African Community on 1st July 2007, joining Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania and later was followed by Burundi. As part of this community, there plans to have customs’ union, one currency and consequently one political system
