The House has approved the ratification of the amendment to article 24(2)a on the establishment of East African Community (EAC) Customs Union, paving way for the accommodation of the EAC new entrants to the Trade Remedies Committee.
Kenya now joins states that are in the process of ratifying the amendment. Once all the nine partner states complete the process, the Republic of Rwanda, Burundi, Southern Sudan, DRC Congo and Somalia will each nominate three members to the Trade Remedies Committee.
