KAM Warns Tanzania Unrest Affects Kenya

Kenya Association of Manufacturers CEO Tobias Olando warned that Tanzania’s political unrest threatens cross-border trade and logistics. He said Kenya exported goods worth Sh67 billion to Tanzania in 2024 and imported Sh57 billion, underscoring the country’s importance as a key market and transit route. Disruptions have already slowed cargo movement through border points and ports, raising concerns over regional stability and economic integration in East Africa.
