As far as Uganda is concerned (and we already have a rough authorisation for this through the recent consultations throughout East Africa), we are prepared to transfer sovereignty only to the Regional Federation level.
Therefore, we appeal to colleagues to adopt this three-tier integration formula for Africa that had been the proposal from the Committee of seven. We have wasted a lot of time by insisting on changing the position of the Committee of Seven. Obviously, there is no consensus for this and, as far as Uganda is concerned, with good reason.
I thank your Excellencies.
Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
PRESIDENT OF THE
REPUBLIC OF UGANDA
