EAC Secretary General, Amb Dr Richard Sezibera yesterday delivered a moving Speech as the Assembly completed week one of its deliberations.
The EAC Secretary General's speech gave a score-card of deliverables during his tenure at the helm before an attentive House. The Secretary General cited five key areas in the broad vision and remarked that under his five year tour of duty, the bloc had witnessed significant achievements.
On the Customs Union, Amb Dr Sezibera remarked that sustained campaigns to ensure realisation of the Single Customs Territory (SCT) had duly paid off.
"Today, should one visit the Port of Dar es Salaam right here, you will witness revenue officials from the rest of the Partner States clearing goods", he said.
The time within which it takes to clear goods has reduced tremendously. At the central corridor it now takes 3 days, down from the 18 days while in the northern corridor, there is significant reduction from 21 days to 5 days," Amb Dr Sezibera said.
He remarked that there was sustained pressure to rid the region of Non-Tariff barriers and such, were paying off while the port clearance times were also reduced from three weeks to under ten days.
