The first version of the flag was adopted in 2003 by the "Community Emblem Act, 2003" when the Community only consisted of three members: Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. In 2007 the Community expanded to include Burundi and Rwanda. In 2008 to take into account this expansion of membership the "Community Emblems (Amendment) Act, 2008" was passed, which modified the emblem to include Burundi and Rwanda.
