The Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) urged the government and regional partners to reduce non-tariff barriers to boost Kenya’s participation in COMESA and the African Continental Free Trade. KAM CEO Tobias said slow customs procedures, regulatory hurdles, and policy inconsistencies continue to limit regional market access despite existing free trade frameworks. He said easing business costs and harmonizing trade rules would help Kenya expand manufacturing-led exports as intra-Africa trade discussions intensify under COMESA and AfCFTA.
