Kenya has announced sweeping reforms aimed at revitalising trade along the Northern Corridor by eliminating long-standing Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) that have slowed the movement of goods.
The measures target inefficiencies such as delays at border points, excessive inspections, duplicative regulations, and administrative bottlenecks that have increased the cost of doing business across the region. By streamlining customs procedures, enhancing coordination among border agencies, and adopting digital tracking systems, the government aims to accelerate cargo clearance and improve overall logistics efficiency.
The reforms are expected to strengthen regional integration within the East African Community, lower transport costs, and make Kenyan ports and trade routes more competitive. Ultimately, the initiative seeks to position the Northern Corridor as a faster, more reliable gateway for trade connecting East and Central Africa. #ebrunews
