Tanzania's Jakaya Kikwete refused the proposed East African Community anthem saying the song was "too christian".
While other EAC heads of state had no qualms on the tune, Museveni had also refused the song on the grounds that it was "too soft".He said he was a revolutionary and that the regional anthem should take cognisance of the wave of "democratic revolution" sweeping Africa, therefore the beat must be "powerful".
