High-level launch for east African OSBPs

Two new one stop border posts (OSBPs) in Kenya and Tanzania are to be officially launched next month which should result in the faster flow of goods between the two countries.

TradeMark East Africa (TMEA) reported that Tanzanian president, Jakaya Kikwete, and the president of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta,  would visit the refurbished facilities at Holili (Tanzania) and Taveta (Kenya) to formally launch the OSBPs.

Each post consists of an office building for the border agencies, parking for trucks, a ramp for offloading goods, an inspection and verification warehouse and other facilities at every border post.
