Congolese businessmen in Mombasa have welcomed the trade, transport, and security deals signed between Kenya and the DRC. Mombasa Congolese Port Users’ spokesperson Kambale Mukokoma noted a number of trade barriers hindering business growth, among them being increased taxes, security of their cargo along the Northern Corridor and bureaucracy at the port. He spoke during an Iftar dinner hosted for religious leaders and the Congolese business community at the Iyale Miritini School in Jomvu, by the area MP Badi Twalib. He called on the government to speed up the processes of easing the trade barriers that affect the two countries trade. Mukokoma said free movement of traders between Kenya and the DRC will significantly help increase business between the two countries.
