Arusha.Three Tanzanians
yesterday filed a case at the East Africa Court of Justice against the
Kenyan, Ugandan and Rwandan governments and the East Africa Community

The four are accused of violating the EAC treaty after holding three meetings which sidelined Tanzania and Burundi which are other member states.
Those who filed the case at the Arusha-based court are Mr Ally Msangi, Mr David Makata and Mr John Adam . They pray for judges at the court to suspend the implementation of resolutions reached during the meetings of presidents Uhuru Kenyata of Kenya, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and Paul Kagame of Rwanda.
