Multi country poll- EAC Countries Divided on Creating a Common Currency (Click for Details)

The East African Community's next goal after launching a common market in July -- creating a common currency by 2012 -- gets mixed support in the economic union's five partner states. Gallup surveys last year showed most Ugandans, Burundians, and Rwandans think a single currency is a good idea, but Tanzanians are divided, and the majority of Kenyans think it is a bad idea.
