Private sector urged to drive EAC integration agenda

Dar es Salaam. Minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, Dr Mahmoud Thabit Kombo, has called on the private sector to play a more active role in advancing the East African integration agenda, saying governments cannot achieve this goal on their own.

Speaking yesterday during the EABC CEOs – EAC Secretary General Meeting, convened to identify barriers to intra-EAC trade and investment, Dr Kombo said the private sector must not only point out obstacles but also champion innovative solutions.
