President Museveni has asked the people of Kasese District to convince their counterparts in neighbouring DR Congo to join the EAC Common Market in order to benefit from the integration.
"Tell DR Congo to come and join the common market. We need them to accept the railway line to start from here lhubiriha to Kisangani so that our business integration is boosted," Mr Museveni said on Thursday at Bwera Secondary School during the commissioning of a modern laboratory and library that was constructed using the World Bank funding.
President Museveni said all East African countries have already joined and that South Sudan had already applied to join.
He accused the Congolese government of doing little to flush out ADF rebels from its territory.
"We told Congolese that they were doing a grave mistake of harbouring the ADF rebels but they thought we were joking. You can now see how they have suffered and continue to suffer. For us, we defeated them and they will never come back," he said.
The President, who was on Operation Wealth Creation tour, reminded residents that government had done most of her responsibilities and it was up to communities to fight poverty at their household level.
"Stop killing yourselves by taking a lot of alcohol. Guard against HIV/Aids and live long," he said.
While in Ntoroko District, President Museveni said the government is set to start tasking schools to teach developmental skills.
