As another cycle of the East African Community comes to an end with the appointment of a new Secretary General in the next few days, critics have described the tenure of the outgoing East African Community Secretary General Liberat Mfumukeko as a “disaster” and lacking in consensus building.
Mr Mfumukeko, a Burundian, was appointed during the February 2016 Summit of EAC Heads of State to replace Rwanda’s Dr. Richard Sezibera. His appointment took effect from April 26, 2016.
