President William Ruto has called for a united front in reforming the African Union to make it efficient and responsive in serving Member States and the people of Africa effectively.
The President said reforms of the African Union are key to unlocking the continent’s full potential.
He pointed out that a reformed African Union would serve as a bridge to prosperity for all African people.
“To this end, we must speak in one voice, act in unity and remain steadfast in our vision,” he said.
He made the remarks during a press briefing following the conclusion of a high-level retreat of the Extended Bureau of the African Union Institutional Reforms he chaired at State House, Nairobi.
Presidents who attended the meeting were John Mahama (Ghana), Azali Assoumani (Comoros), Taye Atske Selassie (Ethiopia) and Umaro Sissoco Embaló (Guinea-Bissau). Also present was African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat.
They deliberated extensively on areas of reforms of the African Union, focusing on peace and stability, funding, the reform of the Pan-African Parliament and the African Court of Justice.
“A fit-for-purpose African Union is a necessary imperative at this point in time if the Union has to play the role of speaking for 1.4 billion Africans,” President Ruto said.
