It is the
business community that should be on the East African Community (EAC)
driver’s seat but apparently, we seem to be giving the seat away to
the bureaucrats.

The local business community did
not seem to be interested in the East African Community (EAC) until
recently when we signed the Customs Union protocol.
The Arusha Chapter of the East
African Business Club marks a new beginning for the East African
Business Council (EABC) and will go a long way in popularising the
business council at the grassroots.
It is high time we team up, in
order to survive in the harsh globalized world. |

The Arusha chapter is going to be the first instalment in the series of East
African Business Clubs that we intend to establish throughout the major cities
of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
Of course a similar club had been existing in Dar es Salaam but as an
independent business club, bearing the same name but not under the East African
Business Council.
In the end we plan to establish over 10 business clubs under the EABC chain.

Business associations in Tanzania are all voluntary and self supporting. They
act towards serving their members mainly through lobbying and networking.
Under the East African Business Club network, we also intend to address
various of our members problems and though the forum is an informal one, it
operates under the fully organized East African Business Council (EABC).
The EABC is the direct representative of the business community to the East
African Community (EAC).
