Tanzania’s business leaders on Tuesday opened up to Secretary General of the East African Community (EAC) Veronica Nduva, detailing a myriad of hurdles they face in negotiating the bloc’s intra-trade challenges, saying political goodwill was needed to make regional trade integration a success.
Meeting Nduva in Dar es Salaam under the East African Business Council (EABC) banner, they pointed to delays in harmonising taxes between countries and in removing persistent restrictions on cross-border trade as major reasons why the concept remained more of a theory than a reality.
