I 21 AFRICA
22 August 1963
Mr. Mboya vent on to describe the implication that members of tne
federation working party had tp decide whether or not there should be
an east African federation as "entirely false." Mr. Mboya, who is a
member of the working party, recalled its terms of reference. These,
he said, left no doubt that the east African governments themselves
wanted a federation.
Quoting from the terms of reference, he said special attention would
be paid to the accommodation of relevant- territorial interests in
drawing up the federal constitution, Mr. Mboya emphasized that the
working party«s task was to draft the constitutional framework and
report back to the east African governments. He said it had been
arranged that there should be a full-scale conference of governments
during the third week of August to consider the working party's
proposals. Mr. Mboya said he believed the working party had achieved
a lot, and the points of disagreement were so few that they would not
need months to consider. Mr. Mboya said it must nov be left to the
heads of the different governments to decide on a date for their
meeting. Procrastination, he warned, would only lead to unnecessary
confusion and speculation.

(Text) Zanzibar Minister for Commerce and Industry Sheikh Ibuni Saleh
has said that Zanzibar would not join the proposed east African
federation until its government was sure it would serve the best
interests of the whole country. Sheikh Ibuni, addressing a chamber
of commerce meeting, said Zanzibar would not join if it was to its
disadvantage. It would only enter if its status as a state was
safeguarded. He went on to say that some people in east Africa are
anxious that the federation should be a reality before the end of the
year, but Zanzibar was in no hurry. He added that the whole question
of Zanzibar's entry would be fully discussed in the National Assembly,
where it would be possible to gauge public opinion.
