In early 1964, the three armies in East Africa (Kenya, Tanganyika, and Uganda) all mutinied/striked against the government for better pay and promotion opportunities. Famously these three leaders called upon British aid (stationed in Kenya) to break the strikers.
This did some damage especially to Julius Nyerere and Milton Obote, whose pan-African rhetoric didn't jive with calling in white British soldiers to break up the African army.
What if Nyere and Obote called upon the aid of Kenyatta? Kenya was the most stable of the three countries, so we assume that in this scenario they avoid their own mutiny so that they can aid Uganda and Tanganyika.
The earlier East Africa Command (over all three armies) broke apart partially because Nyere and Obote felt that they were paying too much to fund Kenya's defense (Kenya had a larger army than both countries combined).
Would such a strike break by the Kenya African Rifles in Uganda and Tanganyika give a greater appreciation for Kenya and the East Africa Command, perhaps providing impetus and popular support for continued growth between the three countries instead of their OTL drifting apart?
