Citing the example of the East African Community where the five member states are looking forward to have a common monetary policy, common market and fight insecurity before it becomes a political federation, this is a big blow. Mp Stephen Mukitale Birahwa of Buliisa county in Bugungu says what has happened to the European Union has weakened the aspirations of the EAC that has been copying a leaf from them.

James Nsaba Buturo Mp for Bufumbira East says with Unity, East African Community can speak with a common voice on issues of its benefit and those they are against like homosexuality but since we are not yet strong, sometimes states fail to reach a common understanding on a given issue. Buikwe south MP Mutebi David says what has happened to EU should be a lesson to member states of the East African Community to identify the challenges that would lead to its separation and work on them before they escalate to cause disunity of a young community.
