The East African Community (EAC), a composition of the East African Countries of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda will be celebrating her Incorporation Day on the 30 November of every year, starting with 2013.
This resolution was made by the East African Legislative Assembly (E.A.L.A) members after a Bill to pave way for the EAC Day.
Dubbed the Holidays bill, it will see all members of the East African community observe the day as a public holiday in all member states.

If assented, by the EAC Heads of States, the day shall be an opportunity to reflect on the vision of the integration and to celebrate the progress and on-going activities and programmes to further the objects of the Treaty.
According to a statement from the community, official celebrations shall be held in rotational order in the Partner States, celebrating African renaissance and honouring citizens who have championed the cause of integration.
The Bill recognises all the independence days celebrated in the Partner States as days off for the staff of all organs and institutions of the Community.
