EAC in focus as EU market access rule takes effect

QUESTION: When will the EPA agreement between the EU and the EAC be signed?

ANSWER: The EPA negotiations will be concluded when we have reached mutually acceptable solutions on the few remaining outstanding issues. Both parties consider that the agreement is nearing conclusion but some work still remains to be done on the unresolved points to bridge the gap between EAC and EU positions. The bulk of the agreement is already there and the distance to fill the gaps does not seem excessive.

The EU has recently concluded EPA negotiations with West Africa and the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) EPA Group – major milestones in EU-Africa trade relations.

The EU commitment to the EAC is as strong as with those two regions and we are confident that a deal can be achieved with the EAC as well. This would be a further step to take forward our joint EPA agenda, in line with the objectives set out in the Cotonou Partnership Agreement between the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) and the EU in 2000. Trade has indeed an increasingly prominent role in this partnership, which was clearly shown at the Fourth Africa-EU Summit last April where the parties declared that it is time for a fundamental shift from aid to trade and investment as agents of growth, jobs and poverty reduction.

And why has it taken so long to finalise the agreement?

EU and EAC have, since the beginning of the negotiations in 2002, been determined to conclude an EPA. However, negotiating a trade agreement is in general a time-consuming process, not the least when there is a significant difference in the level of development of the parties. Specific national interests are at stake, giving a political sensitivity to EPA negotiations. Moreover, certain regional or national issues in the region have, at times, taken the countries’ focus elsewhere. Finally, it is also a question of incentives, as the EU has provided generous access to its market under unilateral arrangements. The EPA requires countries to take a step further and to look beyond market access and integrate the EPA in their own development plans.

How can the deadline of October 1, 2014, be respected and what will be the consequence of a late signature for the EAC countries?

October 1 is not the deadline for EPA negotiations. It is the date when the Amendment of the so-called Market Access Regulation takes effect. This regulation advances free market access to countries with an EPA. It was always meant to be a temporary bridging measure while the ACP countries were proceeding with the signature and ratification of the interim EPAs agreed in 2007. It is therefore only normal that the EU is withdrawing free market access from those countries that have not seen through these agreements seven years later.

In the EAC, this will not change anything for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) such as Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda, which will continue to export their products to the EU duty-free quota-free under the Everything But Arms scheme. Kenya as a non-LDC, in turn, will move from the Market Access Regulation to the EU’s standard Generalised Scheme of Preferences for developing countries, which means that there will be tariffs on some products originating in Kenya (e.g. cut flowers, vegetables) but those tariffs will be lower than normal third-country tariffs. Once the EPA negotiations are concluded, Kenya will be able to return to the free access regime. We hope this will happen quickly.

One killed at Muthiga, Kiambu after truck flies off highway

A truck lies on its side following an accident on September 30, 2014 at Muthiga in Kiambu. One man was killed after he was hit by the truck.

A man was Monday evening killed in a road accident at Muthiga in Kiambu County after a truck literally flew off the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.

Hundreds of residents flocked the scene following the accident which claimed the life of 31-year-old Wilson Njuguna.

Mr Njuguna, who worked as a loader for a Thika based bread company died on the spot while he was loading some crates into the company lorry when the 22 wheeler truck hit him.

The driver of the bread company lorry Joseph Chege described the deceased loader as a hardworking, quiet man.

"I just heard my lorry shake as the truck passed by at a high speed and I did not even know that Njuguna had been hit. I thought he was collecting the bread crates only to later realise that he was dead” said Mr Chege.

They were headed to Thika after delivering bread to clients when the accident happened.

The 22-wheeler truck flew off the highway just next to the pedestrian opening along the Nairobi-Nakuru highway at Muthiga, Kiambu killing one man.

BROUGHT DOWN POWER LINES

The truck also brought down power lines, which remained entangled to it as it fell on its side. The Kenya Power company was asked to quickly switch off power in the area to avoid another accident.

Dagoretti OCPD Rashid Mohammed and Base Commander Wesley Kimetto were at the scene of the accident, and helped in keeping off onlookers since the truck had spilled its cargo and fuel.

The police officers said they suspected the truck’s brakes failed, but added that investigations on what led to the accident would be carried out.

They said the driver of the truck, who was injured in the accident, would be questioned.

HOUSES DESTROYED

Some of the rental houses which were destroyed following the accident at Muthiga, Kiambu.

Fabian Kirogo, 33, said he had just finished showering when the truck hit his house and four others demolishing them and destroying property worth thousands of shillings.

Another unidentified man was injured on the hand as he was digging a trench next to the road.

He said he had tried to run away from the wayward truck but it still hit him.

Motorists using the highway have been warned against speeding especially as they approach Mithiga where the road is steep.

Residents said it is common for motorists, especially truck drivers, to over speed on the highway which posed danger to other read users.

Lengo Karisa Mdzomba arriving at Kwale law courts where he was charged with three counts of assaulting and causing bodily harm to Cord leader Raila Odinga and Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya September 29, 2014. 

Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) leader Raila Odinga and Kwale governor Salim Mvurya have said they will not pursue a case against a man who attacked them over the weekend.

Mr Odinga and Mr Mvurya said they will not apply for a P3 form that would require them to undergo medical examination for the assault case against Mr Lengo Karisa Mdzomba to proceed.

“Instead, Governor Mvurya will seek out Mr Mdzomba to understand his problems and motives. Mr Mvurya will also try to understand what was the provocation or the issue that the man wanted to protest against,” Mr Odinga said in a statement Wednesday through his spokesman Dennis Onyango.

Mr Odinga said the Governor was ready to meet Mr Mdzomba as it would create a chance for them “to look each other in the eye and understand one another.”

Mr Mdzomba caused a scare by hitting Mr Odinga with a walking stick during a rally in Kwale County on Monday.

He appeared in court on Tuesday and was charged with attacking Mr Odinga and Mr Mvurya.

He pleaded guilty to the charge and asked for time to apologise to the people he had assaulted.princerado2006@yahoo.co.uk.

Parliament Approves Premier Rugunda,read more on Drive Hot News

Parliament yesterday approved Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda as the new Prime Minister of Uganda with 217 legislators voting in favour of his appointment.
Only four MPs voted against the motion moved by vice president Edward Ssekandi, 12 days after Dr Rugunda was appointed to replace Amama Mbabazi who was dropped from cabinet.
Four other legislators abstained.

Before the voting by show of hands, the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga ascertained the number of MPs in the House as 225.

Ssekandi’s motion was seconded by Defence minister Crispus Kiyonga, DP Secretary Mathias Nsubuga, and Leader of Independents in Parliament Sam Otada.

On September 18th, President Museveni appointed the then health minister as his sixth premier since he took power in 1986. In his letter to the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga, Museveni said the appointment takes immediate effect and requested Kadaga to arrange for Rugunda’s approval.

Article 108 A (1) of the Constitution of Uganda provides for the position of Prime Minister to be appointed by the President with approval of Parliament by simple majority from among Members of Parliament or Persons qualified to be elected members of Parliament.

For the last 12 days since Mbabazi was dropped as Prime Minister, the 3rd Deputy Prime Minister Moses Ali has been acting Prime Minister and Leader of Government Business in Parliament 

While justifying his motion, Vice President Ssekandi noted that Rugunda has experience in both government and public service and that his profile or record speaks for its self.

Minister Kiyonga noted that in Rugunda Uganda is being offered a freedom fighter, a team player, revolutionary, and a reliable and honest politician to offer leadership to the country.

Kibanda County MP Sam Otada, the leader of Independents in the House, thanked President Museveni for appointing a senior citizen to the position of the Prime Minister and thanked Amama Mbabazi for departing with humility.

However, Otada noted that although the President has powers to appoint and disappoint as stipulated in the Constitution, he owes the country an explanation why he appointed Rugunda and dropped Mbabazi unceremoniously.

DP Secretary General Mathias Nsubuga, who is also Bukoto South MP, noted that he met Rugunda in 1981 and that ever since he has exhibited leadership even when he was a youth. He said he has no doubt that Rugunda would provide a good Prime Minister for Uganda.

Mbabazi noted that it is possible that in the ninth Parliament he knows Rugunda longest saying that they have been friends, workmates and comrades for the last 56 years.
He said that basing on the time he has been with Rugunda, he confirms he is the right choice for a Prime Minister.

Upon his approval, Rugunda thanked Parliament for approving his appointment and also thanked President Museveni for seeing him fit to be the Prime Minister.

He noted that during his tenure he will concentrate on seeing that the NRM manifesto and the National Development Plan are implemented fully. He said that his focus will be on the implementation of the many infrastructural projects that are underway and also continue to prioritize improved service delivery to Ugandans.

He pledged to ensure that the fight against corruption and unemployment are priority for the government

Anti-gays law: Judge cries out

Karuma. 
A Constitutional Court judge who was among the panel of five justices who annulled the anti-gays law has said they have received public backlash for having taken the decision.
Justice Solomy Bossa Balungi said despite receiving the backlash from the public, they had not responded to the same until Monday, when she hit back at those criticising them for having quashed the law, saying their decision is in “black and white” and that those aggrieved with it can appeal in a higher court instead of attacking them.

Justice Balungi was speaking during the Judicial Symposium at Chobe Safari Lodge in Nwoya District organised by Judicial Studies Institute and International Governance Alliance on public interest litigation.

In August, a panel of five justices unanimously annulled the controversial anti-gays law for having been passed without the required quorum of one-third of all the members of Parliament. 
The other justices on the panel included acting deputy Chief Justice Steven Kavuma who led the panel, Justices Augustine Nshimye, Eldad Mwangusya and Rubby Aweri Opio.

The two-day symposium that has attracted judges of the superior courts and a selected few from the High Court, will mainly focuss on how to effectively handle public interest cases. 
The judges will also share their different,princerado2006@yahoo.co.uk
