Over the years bringing together the East African Community has been on various attempts including the forming up of East African Legislative Assembly.

Today the assembly which draws representation from the nations of DRC,Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Somalia and South Sudan sits in Tanzania's Arusha city. 


It seems the dream of the EAC forefathers is about to be realized as a union of a single currency for the nations is on top gear discussion.
