Kenya’s Narok Senator Ledama Olekina has lauded Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni for what he described as “fearless leadership” in advancing the East African political federation and full economic integration agenda.
In a message posted on X (formerly Twitter), Olekina commended Museveni’s “dedication and generosity,” calling them a bold example for the region’s leadership. He urged all East African heads of state to unite and defend the bloc against what he termed a “neocolonial agenda” aimed at dividing and exploiting the region.
“Now is the moment for ALL East African leaders to rise, unite, and defend our region… Together, we can ignite a transformative debate that will forge a future of strength, prosperity, and unbreakable unity,” Olekina stated.
The senator’s remarks come amid ongoing discussions within the East African Community (EAC) on deeper political and economic integration, including the long-envisioned political federation that would merge member states into a single sovereign entity.
Olekina stressed that the time for division was over, declaring that East Africa must stand as “one, secure and sovereign” to achieve lasting strength and prosperity.
