Uganda’s Vice President Jessica Alupo has praised the growing partnership between Kenya and Uganda, describing the two neighboring countries as nations united by history, culture and family ties, while urging East African states to deepen regional integration for shared prosperity.

Speaking on Sunday during the consecration and enthronement of the Rt. Rev. Dr. Vitalis Job Ekuru as the fourth Bishop of the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Diocese of Katakwa in Busia County, Alupo said the close relationship between Kenya and Uganda should serve as an example of successful regional cooperation.

“When we invite our neighbors, our sisters and brothers, and celebrate together like this, we demonstrate the true value of regional cooperation, Pan-Africanism and people-to-people development,” Alupo said.
