Every day this business is getting harder and harder. Njiraini hacheki na maboi. He has suspended registration of new clearing and forwarding agents and also CFS indefinitely. As if that is not enough he has closed down two CFSs (portside and autoport) rumored to be owned by Joho. Kama kuna mtu alikuwa na ka container huko utangoja my friend also expect higher charges in the coming months.
They have appointed an army guy to be incharge of enforcement wacha tuone itakuwa aje

cost of manufacturing is still very high in kenya
It’ll still be better than importing since the monies stay in the economy. See what happened to India. And what Ethiopia is doing.

well maybe I’m biased since I’m in import business but I would rather feel that economy in my pocket. India export alot of finished products while they import raw materials, before scrap metal import was ‘stopped’ india was the top importer. What is happening in Ethiopia?

Hii story ya mahabesh being an economic powerhouse is very fake. Apart from fine women and a metro, they are behind Kenya in all spheres.

Thought so too
Wasn’t implying they are a better economy. I was stating they are taking steps that’ll spur their domestic production to reduce reliance on imported goods.

@incognitus kumaanisha kuimport itakuwa shida ama?
njia za chini ya maji ndio wanajaribu kufunga…nowadays you can’t even clear without COC from country of origin(official way lakini). But usikonde so many ways of skinning a cat
The only issue I don’t like is the proposal that importers won’t have the right to nominate a cfs. But on the flip side, since some owners of cfs are involved in ‘interesting bizz’ the randomness will halt illegal biz for some time.

It would be a great market to expand to and do biz there if only they were more liberal and open up
Wachana na hawa Ethiopians. They don’t even want to learn English. They are lazy guyz and their men are cock blockers.

Their connection to power grid is just about 27% out of a population of about 98M most of them rural, but its virtually impossible for an outsider to go set up shop there and that is a huge market for such basic services, their women on the other are EVERYTHING to write home about
