The delegates also agreed that there must be investment aimed at improving the infrastructure in the region, especially the road and railway networks.

The President of Tanzania who is also the chairperson of the East African Community, Jakaya Kikwete notes that often resolutions are made but are not implemented.

Kikwete says this must change if tangible results are to be realized in East Africa and challenges member states to take advantage of the Common Market protocol to boost trade in the region.
