Raila Odinga has proposed the introduction of African Union Visas if he is elected as the next African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson.
He highlighted the challenges faced by Africans needing multiple visas to travel within the continent, contrasting it with the ease of travel in Europe.
Odinga emphasized the need for a unified visa system to facilitate travel and trade across Africa, aiming to eliminate the requirement for multiple visas.
The former Prime Minister pledged to streamline travel processes by implementing an African Union visa that would allow individuals to move freely across the continent without the burden of obtaining numerous visas.
Odinga also expressed his commitment to promoting open borders for seamless trade and supporting the development of a high-speed rail network in Africa.
As one of the candidates vying for the AUC chairperson position, Odinga aims to address the challenges hindering intra-African mobility and trade.
Raila Odinga’s vision for introducing African Union Visas aligns with his goal of enhancing connectivity and economic opportunities within Africa.
By advocating for a unified visa system and improved infrastructure, Odinga seeks to facilitate easier movement of people and goods across the continent, ultimately fostering greater integration and development in Africa.
