ADVERTISEMENT By AGGREY MUTAMBO More by this AuthorThe government says its decision to involve Uganda and Rwanda in the standard gauge railway was based on need but not to isolate other East African Community members. Foreign Affairs acting Political Diplomatic Secretary John Lunyasinya argued the government engaged the two countries because the northern corridor affects them. It was not necessary to bring in other (East African) Community members because they had no input in it. This was not isolation as some people have speculated.
