    "content": "place since then. However, there is need to do more. They should increase the number of flights between here and Rwanda. We should minimise any hindrances or roadblocks that enable people to move across. We should improve mobility of people and reduce all the barriers that may exist to improve trade. You should increase contacts between citizens and this is very important for purpose of increasing trade. The President of the Senate of Rwanda also talked about the role of Members of Parliament in sensitizing the general citizens of our two countries so that people can appreciate the value of integration and the bigger regional bloc that we must build so that we enjoy the economies of scale through accessing larger markets. It is our duty as Members of Parliament to ensure that we do what the President is asking us to do and to play our role in sensitizing the public in building trust and faith so that we facilitate movement and trade. By and large, there are lessons to learn from Rwanda. First is the way they have dealt with tribalism as a hindrance to development. The fact that today, Rwanda is where it is even after the experience of 1994 is unbelievable. However, it can be done. They have built hope among their people. I know that we have challenges of tribalism in this country because our situation is even more complex than that one of Rwanda considering that we have more tribes here. The potential is greater here. We belong to many faiths and the potential is much greater here. We should learn from Rwanda because they have overcome this through determination, focus and by deciding that they must deal with those challenges directly. They have succeeded to do so and I believe we also can. There is capacity to reconcile our citizens the way the people of Rwanda did. Personally, I think those are the two biggest lessons we can learn from Rwanda. Lastly, we are under obligation, as a nation, to enhance this interaction with the people of Rwanda and the Senate of Rwanda. The benefits are for all of us; the two countries in particular. With those remarks, I take note of those sentiments which I totally agree with."
