But out of 6,900 items, we do not take advantage of more than 20 items. It is time that we also woke up and showed leadership by directing our people to take advantage so that they can create wealth. More often than not, let us also encourage people to move out there and start investing in a small way. Let us put them together in groups like women groups to be able to get artifacts and fill a container to export to the European and United States of America (USA) markets. It is time that we, in the East African region forced that kind of interactive ability to be able to do intra-African trade.
