East Africa Court of Justice (EACJ) has dropped a case filed by three Tanzanians challenging a decision by Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda to lock out their country from a tripartite deal to fast-track East African integration.

The court allowed an application by Ally Msanga, David Makatha and John Bwenda to have the case discontinued, citing financial restrains that would not allow them to challenge the move by the three countries to have Tanzania out of the agreement.
