Last week, The EastAfrican told us that the perennially lousy finances of the East African Community Secretariat are even messier this time around. Some EAC staff in Arusha have deserted their work stations “as a cash crunch continues to bite due to delayed remittances by the partner states.”
“The Secretariat has recently faced difficulties in paying salaries and allowances while some programmes have had to be suspended. The East African Court of Justice, for example, has suspended the August session of the Appellate Division because of lack of funds. And July salaries for the East African Legislative Assembly were yet to be paid by press time.
