The East African Community (EAC) secretariat has reiterated calls for its partner states to eliminate domestic administrative bottlenecks that continue to delay the movement of goods and services.
EAC Secretary General Ambassador Stephen Mbundi said if the trade bloc were to achieve its target of increasing intra-EAC trade to 50 per cent by 2030, it must act on the trade barriers.
Mbundi made the remarks during a high-level implementation mission to the Sirari-Isebania and Busia-Busia One Stop Border Posts (OSBP) early this month.
