EAC judicial affairs meeting fails to take off

KIGALI - The fourth East African meeting of the sectoral council on legal and judicial affairs did not take place because representatives from Burundi and Tanzania were absent. The meeting, which was supposed to take place on June 23 in Kigali ahead of the EAC Heads of State summit, has now been pushed to September. It was supposed to discuss a report by deputy attorney generals, solicitor generals and permanent secretaries made during an April meeting held in Arusha, Tanzania. Uganda’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Khidu Makubuya, and his Kenyan counterpart, Amos Wako arrived in the country earlier.
