dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the coherence between the East African people- centred sovereignty and East African Legislative Assembly (EALA). Its objectives were to; establish the process of election of members to the EALA and assess the extent to which the process of election of members of the EALA was people-centred. The research adopted the descriptive research design as well as a case study design. The target population was East African Community (EAC) university students, particularly from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The sample size consisted of sixty students from the three member states. The study also included liaison officers from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kenya. The primary data was collected through questionnaires and one-on-one interviews with the participants of the study. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive analysis procedures including frequencies and percentages, while qualitative data was analysed using content analysis. In regard to the extent to which the election of members to EALA was people centred, 3% of the respondents stated that it was at all not people centred, 38% indicated it was to a small extent, 52% stated it was to a moderate extent and 7% to a great extent. In regard to the process of electing EALA members, 52% of the respondents stated that members were nominated by political parties in their countries, 31% indicated that their presidents directly nominated individuals of their choice, 12% stated that national assemblies nominated members by evaluation of their capabilities through presentation and majority vote, while on 5% respondents indicated that the civil Societies had a role in nominating members to EALA. The study concluded that people centred sovereignty in relation to their participation in the process of election of members to the EALA vis-à-vis the EAC integration process was to a moderate extent. The study recommended that EAC member states should continue to explore more avenues of creating awareness to their citizens towards improving participatory decision making.en_US
