1 Mins read

President Museveni has asked the National Resistance Movement (NRM) leaders to preach the gospel of East African integration to Ugandans.

Museveni made the remarks as he addressed NRM leaders and party flag bearers from Busia at Madibira Primary School grounds in Busia Municipality.

“The NRM leaders should preach the gospel of East African integration because we need East African and Africa at large as markets for our goods,” Museveni said.

The President explained that as the country continues to develop, more goods are produced but noted there is not enough market for all that is produced.

He cited an example of China which has a population of 1.4 billion people but said is still looking for markets in other countries, a strategy he said should be emulated by Ugandans.

“Sugar, milk, maize are all in plenty. The industries are also producing many goods but unfortunately, the local market is no longer enough,” he said.
