DOES THE EAST AFRICAN PARLIAMENT MAKE LAWS FOR UGANDA?. 



📸: EAC Flag.

Jesse was watching TV when his baby brother came to ask him for help with his homework. In Social Studies, the first question was if the Parliament of East Africa makes laws for Uganda. Jesse quickly said yes.  
 
But his brother said his teacher told them that the Parliament of East Africa makes laws, but Uganda can choose to follow them or not. Now, they do not know how to answer the question.  
 
WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

The East African Parliament makes laws for the member states of the East African Community. These countries are Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Sudan, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.  
 
However, these laws are not binding. This means that it is not compulsory for the countries to follow these laws. Each country must sign a document to accept certain laws made by that Parliament to apply in their country. 
 
It is therefore not against the law if a country within the East African Community refuses to follow a law made by the East African Community parliament.
