The Institutional Framework of the EAC chapter 2 The Institutional Framework of the EAC Wilbert T.K. Kaahwa 2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 Conceptual Background In the law of international organizations such as the United Nations (UN), continental organizations such as the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU) and regional organizations including the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) the term “institutional framework” often refers to the legal framework that guides the pursuit of such organizations’ objectives. The term can also refer to the sys- tems of formal laws, regulations, and procedures, and informal conventions, customs, and norms that shape socioeconomic activity and behavior. However for the purposes of this book, this Chapter will only highlight the formal orga- nizational set-up established by the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community (“the Treaty”). The second part, the legal framework of the EAC, will be discussed in Chapter 3. The importance and relevance of the institutional framework in the East African Community (EAC) can be traced to three facts. Firstly, the EAC has revived an inter-state co-operation system, whose historical antecedents and systematic development between 1967 and 1977 had given rise to an elaborate organizational framework of organs and service commissions. The Treaty for East African Co-operation 1967 had established institutions such as the East African Authority,1 the East African Legislative Assembly,2 Ministers of the Community,3 the Common Market Council,4 the Communications Council,5 the Economic Consultative and Planning Council,6 the Finance Council7 1 Articles 46–48. 2 Articles 56–60. 3 Articles 49–51. 4 Articles 30–31, 53(a), 54. 5 Articles 53(b), 54, 55. 6 Articles 53(c), 54, 55. 7 Articles 53(d), 54,55. © wilbert t.k. kaahwa, ���7 | doi ��.��63/97890043��073_004 This is an open access chapter distributed under the terms of the CC-BY-NC License.

This renewal obliged the countries to explore and identify further areas for future co-operation and to work out concrete arrangements for co-operation,16 and therefore the need for an institutional framework became inevitable. This was reflected in the institution-creating overtones of the Agreement for the Establishment of The Permanent Tripartite Commission for Co-operation Between the Republic of Uganda, the Republic of Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania17 and the Protocol on the Establishment of a Secretariat of The Permanent Tripartite Commission for Co-operation Between the Republic 8 Articles 53(e), 54, 55. 9 Articles 71–79. 10 Articles 80–81. 11 Article 85. 12 Articles 21–22. 13 Articles 62–64. 14 Article 88. 15 East African Community, The East African Community; A Handbook 1972, Arusha, East African Community Information Division, 1970.The bodies and institutions included the Meteorological Department, the Freshwater Fisheries Organisation, the Industrial Research Organisation, the Institute of Malaria and Vector-Borne Diseases, the Institute for Medical Research, the Leprosy Research Institute, the Marine Fisheries Research Organisation, the Pesticides Research Organisation, the Agriculture and Forestry Research Organisation, the Trypanosomiasis Research Organisation, the Tuberculosis Investigation Centre, the Veterinary Research Organisation and the Virus Research Institute. 16 See Article 14.02 of The East African Community Mediation Agreement 1984. 17 Agreement for the Establishment of a Permanent Tripartite Commission for Co-operation Between the Republic of Kenya, The United Republic of Tanzania and the Republic of Uganda; see particularly Articles 1–5.

Thirdly, the Community is a creature of modern dynamics in regional- ism. According to Heitne “the new regionalism differs from the old regionalism (which was based on security interests in the bi-polar cold war context) in that it is a spontaneous process from within a region, is more comprehensive and multi-dimensional and encourages non-state actors and incorporates issues of accountability and legitimacy.”19 The EAC has grown as a channel for eco- nomic integration rather than as a consequence of mainly political solidarity as did, for example, other erstwhile organizations in Africa.20 New regionalism necessitates organized structures for the purpose of effective and sustained realization of objectives. Indeed McCormick, with specific reference to the EU, argues that, “integration is effectively driven by institutionalized structures. For example, the European Union has evolved and is driven by an elaborate structure consisting of the European Commission, the Council of Ministers, the European Parliament, the European Court of Justice, the European Council and specialized agencies”.21 In its objectives as provided under the Treaty, and unlike the situation that obtained under the defunct East African Community (1967–1977), its prede- cessor the East African Common Services Organisation (1961–1967), and the colonial arrangement under the East African High Commission (1947–1961), the current integration process aims at achieving more than trade liberaliza- tion and harmonization in infrastructure and services. To use Amerasinghe’s approach to the classification of international organizations, the EAC is “an inter-governmental, supra-national and closed organization”22 that seeks to 18 Ibid., Article 5; See also The Protocol on the Establishment of a Secretariat of The Permanent Tripartite Commission for Co-operation Between The Republic of Uganda, The Republic of Kenya and The United Republic of Tanzania. 19 Bjorn Heitne, Development Regionalism in New Directions In Development Economics (Growth, Environmental Concerns and Government in the 1990s) Ed by Mats Lundahl and Benno J.

The legal basis for the institutional framework is found in Article 9 of the Treaty, which stipulates that— 1. There are hereby established as organs of the Community: (a) the Summit (of Heads of State); (b) the Council (of Ministers); (c) the Co-ordination Committee; (d) Sectoral Committees; (e) the East African Court of Justice; ( f ) the East African Legislative Assembly; (g) the Secretariat; and (h) such other organs as may be established by the Summit. 2. The institutions of the Community shall be such bodies, department and services as may be established by the Summit. 3. Upon the entry into force of this Treaty, the East African Development Bank established by the Treaty Amending and Re-enacting the Char- ter of the East African Development Bank, 1980 and the Lake Victoria Fisheries Organisation established by the Convention (Final Act) for the Establishment of the Lake Victoria Fisheries Organisation, 1994 and surviving institutions of the former East African Community and shall be designated and function as such.

  • The Return to Makerere
    7 My Experience: The Return to Makerere My Long Years at Makerere as Vice Chancellor (1993 – 2004) “We have decided to send you back to Makerere as the next Vice-Chancellor”. These were the words of Minister Amanya Mushega when I met him at a meeting at the International Conference Centre on September 20, 1993; and they are still fresh in my memory. Towards the end of August 1993, I was selected to accompany Mr Eriya Kategaya, who was then First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, on a study visit to Bangladesh. The other members of the delegation were Mr David Pulkol who was then the Deputy Minister of Education and Sports and Johnson Busingye (now deceased) who was at the time the District Education Officer of Bushenyi. The purpose of the visit was to learn about the Grameen Micro-finance and the educational programmes for rural poor communities, which Dr Muhammad Yunus had established in Bangladesh, and to assess the possibility of replicating them in Uganda. On our way back from Dhaka, we had a stop-over at Addis Ababa Airport. The Ethiopian Government officials arranged for Mr David Pulkol and his delegation to wait for the Entebbe flight at the VIP lounge. Mr Kategaya had left us behind in Dhaka for a trip to Europe, so Mr Pulkol was now the leader of our delegation. For some reason, as we waited for our flight, the topic of dismissing senior Government officials over the radio came up. We thought that the practice of doing things in an uncivilised way had ended with Idi Amin, pointing out that the affected officers had a right to know their fate before the public did.

  • Country Advice Uganda – UGA36312 – Central Civic Education Committee
    Country Advice Uganda Uganda – UGA36312 – Central Civic Education Committee – Democratic Party – Uganda Young Democrats – Popular Resistance Against Life Presidency – Buganda Youth Movement 9 March 2010 Please provide information on the following: 1. Leadership, office bearers of the Central Civic Education Committee (CVEC or CCEC) since 1996. The acronym used in sources for the Central Civic Education Committee‟s is CCEC. As of 10 January 2008, the CCEC was initially headed by Daudi Mpanga who was the Minister for Research for the south central region of Buganda according to Uganda Link.1 On 1 September 2009 the Buganda Post reported that the committee was headed by Betty Nambooze Bakireke.2 She is commonly referred to as Betty Nambooze. Nambooze was Democratic Party spokeswoman.3 The aforementioned September 2009 Buganda Post article alleged that Nambooze had been kidnapped and tortured by the Central Government for three days. She had apparently been released due to international pressure and, according to the Buganda Kingdom‟s website, the CCEC had resumed its duties.4 In a November 2009 report, the Uganda Record states that Nambooze had subsequently been arrested, this time in connection with the September 2009 riots in Kampala.3 The CCEC was created by the Kabaka (King) of Buganda in late 2007 or early 2008 according to a 9 January 2008 article from The Monitor. The CCEC was set up with the aim to “sensitise” the people of Buganda region to proposed land reforms.5 The previously mentioned Buganda Post article provides some background on the CCEC: The committee, which was personally appointed by Ssabasajja Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi, is credited for awakening Baganda to the reality that Mr.
