Revenue officials in South Sudan and Kenya have started a drive to curb the flow of illegal products entering their nations and to lower taxes.
South Sudan and Kenya announced on Thursday that they had reached an agreement to assist other customs services.
In addition to tracking illicit goods and assisting one another in becoming more effective in customs services, the memorandum of understanding states that they would work together on mutual administrative assistance in customs problems. SSRA board chairman Stephen Dhiu Dau, together with his South Sudanese colleague Africano Mande Gedima and KRA commissioner general Humphyrey Wattanga, said that they had decided to keep an eye on the two nations’ yearly commerce of over 1.5 million tons
