The Ministry of Sports has announced plans to introduce tax exemptions and visa reforms to facilitate the smooth movement of fans during the upcoming African Nations Championship (CHAN), set to be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya revealed the proposal during a joint press briefing with his Ugandan and Tanzanian counterparts on Tuesday evening, underscoring the region's shared commitment to the success of the tournament.
Mvurya stated that the three countries are working on a temporary "Pamoja Visa" that will allow football enthusiasts to travel freely between the host nations for the duration of the competition.
The visa will be rolled out following agreements between the Immigration departments of the participating countries, forming part of a broader plan to ease travel logistics and enhance regional cooperation during CHAN.
