Kenyan manufacturers have turned to the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa), for support in battling illicit trade in the region, as tonnes of counterfeit products flood its market, endangering lives and threatening to cripple local industries.
At a Comesa Heads of Customs meeting in Nairobi this past week, the Kenya Association of Manufacturers asked the body to consider establishing an institution to deal with counterfeits and dumping in the regional market.
