Ready for a United States of East Africa? The wheels are already turning
When the political federation comes into force, under one president, partner states’ constitutions will become subordinate to the regional Constitution.
The East African Community has kicked off the process of forming a political federation by appointing a 12-member Committee of Experts to draft a regional constitution.
This is in line with a directive by the region’s heads of state to the Council of Ministers, asking it to begin drafting laws that will pave the way for the achievement of the last pillar of East African integration.
