Committee on General Purposes

In that regard, the Committee would initiate studies and investigation, call for and receive reports of the work of bodies, programmes and projects on such matters.  As the Committee may find appropriate upon the receipt of reports from EAC Sectoral Committees; they would refer certain matters to such Committees for further study and report.
