A key proposal in the model Bill financed by Japan International Co-operation Agency is creation of competent national authorities in each member State to license customs agents and freight forwarding practitioners. Mr Mathenge was speaking in Mombasa during a workshop for East African stakeholders to validate the model Bill.
