Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta wants the East African Community to expand to include Central, Northern and Southern African states.
The Kenyan leader, who is the current EAC chair, wants this expansion to form his legacy at the regional bloc. He is proposing some amendments to the Treaty establishing the Community to accommodate new members, said Adan Mohamed, Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of EAC and Regional Development.
