 Arusha. The East African Legislative Assembly (Eala) will hold an extraordinary sitting tomorrow over the stalled budget of the East African Community (EAC).

The $103 million estimates for 2023/24 hit a brick wall after Tanzania and the DR Congo declined assent a few weeks after they were passed by the House in June.
