    YOUR VIEWS: Kenyan pupils are to sing the East African Community anthem and schools will fly the flag. A good move?pic.twitter.com/9Tv63NLKoB

        Definitely a good move. Singing both EAC & Kenyan Anthem is recognition of our strength under the two tiers (National & Regional)

        maybe not. If biz, orgs and govt aren't integraing as they should, school kids mightn't when they grow into these institutions

        Let's not get ahead of ourselves.Can all Kenyan children sing their national anthem & identify the colors of their flag?

        isn't it still a requirement to sing the national anthem twice every Mon & Fri?

        The requirement, assuming schools enforce it, hasn't translated into mastery of anthem or flag color recognition. Check

        it's sad what happened in Kenya. But does the West African community have an anthem?

        No. ECOWAS does not. West Africa has 3 major languages: English, French, and Portuguese.
