Report by Carol Muthondu
As the East African common market was operationalised on Thursday, a section of businessmen from Kenya are accusing other countries for holding back.
Elizabeth Kinyanjui, a Kenyan businesswoman at the Namanga border accuses Tanzanian immigration authorities of holding up people and goods.
She says this frustrates the goals of the protocol, which embraces Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. “Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi have no problem with Kenyans, but in Regional leaders revived the East African Community (EAC) in the 1990s after it collapsed in 1977.”
On the Tanzanian side of Namanga, a busy border town which lies under a range of hills three hours’ drive from Nairobi; there are echoes of the disagreements of the 1970s among the people..
Busia and Malaba are the other two busy border crossings in the region. Whereas Kenya exports plenty of finished goods like batteries, food and detergents through Namanga, Tanzania exports timber and other farm produce .
Vimal Shah, Chairman Kenya Association Manufacturers, who invested $10 million in 2008 to expand his production capacity ahead of the market growth, says economic progress across the region is likely to trump any political upheaval.
