I greet you and thank you for all the positive things you have been doing since I last addressed you on the13
th
December 2012, at the Special sitting of Parliament when I was talking about the Oil Industry.My main concerns, as you may by now know, apartfrom peace, are socio-economic transformation of oursociety and economy and the integration (botheconomic and political) of the African continent.In the battle for socio-economic transformation, I haveidentified the ten (10) strategic bottlenecks that I have
2
been repeatedly talking about. Even yesterday, Irepeated them to the East African Legislative Assembly(EALA). They are:
ending ideological disorientation; building the State pillars to ensure that the State is capable of governing people and protecting them; developing the human resource through education and the improved health for all; promoting the Private Sector, which is a more efficient vehicle for enterprise identification and growth rather than persecuting them as used to happen in the past; developing the infrastructure (especially electricity, the railways, the roads, ICT, etc);modernizing agriculture; modernizing services;integrating the African market to assist the Private Sector; and ensuring democracy
.As you can see, integrating the African market is partof removing the strategic bottlenecks that I, normally,talk about. The East African Community (EAC) brokedown in 1977 because of the incompatibility betweenthe principled Mwalimu Nyerere and Idi Amin.Investors, however, cannot invest if they are not sureof the market.
