East African Community bloc to sign deal with European Union
Kenya expects the East African Community bloc to sign a trade deal with the European Union by an October the 1st deadline.
Governments in the region are anxious to ensure that exports such as tea and fresh flowers, which are major sources of foreign exchange, are not hampered by any post-Brexit tariffs.
Regional media said Tanzania was holding back on the deal after Britain voted to leave the EU.
Tanzanian officials were not immediately available to comment.
Governments were given two years from the October 2014 agreement to ratify the deal in national parliaments.
