East African Legislative Assembly, Arusha, Tanzania: June 21, 2016: The second week of the sensitisation of stakeholders in the Partner States has commenced and will see EALA Members continue with its outreach to regional stakeholders. The sensitisation activities which run up to the back-end of next week are themed: ”EAC Integration Agenda: Accessing the Gains”.
Last week, the Members met a number of stakeholders. In Kigali, the EALA Chapter led by the Chairperson, Hon Patricia Hajabakiga, addressed over 1000 representatives of the National Youth Council in Huye, Southern Province at the weekend.
A number of issues were raised at the outreach programme including youth involvement in strengthening of the integration process, with the Members urging the stakeholder group to take advantage of cross-border opportunities in the region. Earlier on, the Chapter held an interactive session with representatives and the membership of the Private Sector Federation (PSF) Rwanda led by the Chief Executive officer, Stephen Ruzibiza.
