Trade between Kenya and South Sudan is set to receive a significant transformation following the launch of trade facilitation centres in Kainuk, Lodwar, and Kakuma areas.
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has established these three centres to enhance trade facilitation efforts along the Northern Corridor, a critical trade route linking Kenya with South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Uganda.
This initiative aims at improving trade facilitation and compliance, opening up business opportunities in Turkana County, while ensuring that Kenya remains a hub for international and regional trade.
Additionally, the facilities will help ease congestion at the Malaba and Busia border posts, and significantly reduce transit time for cargo moving from Mombasa to South Sudan.
