EPA is a deal that guarantees EAC member States quota and duty free access to the European market. Only Tanzania is stalling in ratifying the agreement, which if it falls thorough will see Kenyan exports to the European market attract duties, which would make them less competitive. Meanwhile, CS Mohamed yesterday announced an ambitious State's plan that has jointly been developed with manufacturers. It is aimed at ensuring the manufacturing sector contributes 20 per cent to the economy by 2020.
