Following the opening of the Taveta/Holili one stop border post (OSBP) between Kenya and Tanzania earlier this month, clearance time has been reduced from an average of 33 hours to just nine hours, according to news reports citing project manager, Daniel Muturi.
According to a recent statement from TradeMark East Africa (TMEA), the Taveta-Holili border post is one of more than 10 that are being built to facilitate trade and movement of people and goods.
TMEA chief executive, Frank Matsaert, said work on another major OSBP at Busia and Malaba on the Uganda/Kenya border was nearing completion. “We are already upgrading facilities on the Busia and Malaba border as well as working to improve the management of work processes, eventually easing transit times.”
