Many stakeholders
involved
in
the
cargo clearance process.
Stakeholders exchange many
documents among
themselves.
Stakeholder ends up sending the same
document to each other many times.
Exchanges are in hard copy form and
in most cases, processing of
information is
carried
out
manually.
Result:
Delays in cargo clearance, high trade transaction costs, corruption, and loss of competitiveness of Kenya
