The East African Community budget has been decreasing despite the number of programmes remaining the same. However, Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for East African Community Adan Mohamed said this was deliberate and in tune with the economic climate.
In an interview with The EastAfrican, Mr Mohamed said the economies of EAC member countries, just like others around the world, have been hit by the pandemic, resulting in reduction in their tax revenues. The countries had to pay stimulus packages for businesses to stay afloat, forcing the governments to operate within the economic circumstances now in the region.
