Yes I remember under the East African Protocol on trade, there was a directive
to the effect that to allow free movement of people within the East African
Community and facilitate free movement of goods and services, all roadblocks
and check points within any East African Country was to be removed. All
checkpoints were to be relocated on boarder points, Tabu, can you dig that up,
John Toa can look at the protocol and Eriya Kategaya's press release on
abolition of internal road blocks and check points(Minister in Charge of East
Africa and a Deputy Prime Minister). Yes, this is the ammunition we need to
shoot down the sad scenario of Pakwach.
