Reading the Kenya Airways (KQ) inflight magazine for September-October 2012, I came across an article by Komla Dumor about visa-free entry into African countries and the benefits thereof. Interestingly, I was traveling to a meeting in Nairobi to discuss issues related to free movement of professional services (read professionals) across the borders of the 5-member countries of the East African Community (EAC).
Komla asserts that free movement of people has significant economic benefits for host countries as well. I need the source of evidence supporting this. I am not doubting Komla. I am actually inclined to agree entirely with him but providing such evidence would help us strengthen our push for the free movement of people (labour and services) in the EAC.
This article also reminded me of my related one earlier published in this blog. You might find the opinion interesting to read: http://samwiri.blogspot.com/2012/06/some-10-points-for-professionals-to.html
