Why does East African Community expansion cause financial troubles?

Imagine you have a piggy bank, and every day you put coins inside it, that’s like money coming into your country. Now, if you suddenly invite more friends to join in the game, and they also start putting coins into the same piggy bank, that’s like expanding your community.

But here's the catch: when you have more friends, you need more snacks, toys, and space, just like how a country needs more roads, schools, hospitals, and jobs. That means you also need more coins to keep everyone happy. If your piggy bank doesn’t get enough new coins, it might not be able to handle the extra weight.

Think of your piggy bank as a bank that helps pay for all those new snacks and toys. If you add more friends (countries), but don't have more coins (money) coming in, the bank might get stressed, just like a person who’s trying to buy too many ice creams at once.
