Museveni to officially open fourth EALA assembly next week

Uganda President Yoweri Museveni will next week address the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) when it resumes business by holding its plenary session in Kampala.

Museveni, who is the Chair of the Summit of EAC Heads of State, is expected to deliver the State of EAC Address to the Assembly at a date to be communicated.

EALA spokesman Bobi Odiko said this in a statement to the press on Wednesday.

The State of EAC Address is an annual address delivered by the sitting EAC Summit chairman.

It sets the momentum and impetus for the integration process by reflecting on general policies that relate to the community’s progress while outlining the strategic challenges which require attention.

The plenary will take place from January 22 to February 9, being the second meeting of the first session of the fourth assembly.

However, it is unclear whether Burundi and Tanzania will participate in the session after the two countries boycotted the election of speaker Marting Ngoga of Rwanda in December.
