Tanzania’s concerns in the EAC may be ideological, address them

I have been a proponent of regional integration and more specifically East African Community knowing very well that vulnerable economies especially in the Third World stand to benefit immensely from such unity initiatives.

However, Tanzania has been accused of a lackluster commitment towards actualisation of East African Community with all the delays in moving the union to the next level being blamed on her. I belonged to the same school of thought that believed Tanzania was the problem, but slowly, it is becoming evident that unless clear and common ideological benchmarks are set among member states, realisation of the formidable integration is not going to be attained in the near future.
