Kenya is waiting for Ethiopia to complete construction of the one-stop border point between the two countries so they can be linked and start operations, a governor has said. “The border point will open this region to development as it will ensure trade is maximised and attract investors,” he said. The border point will prevent the delay of goods and reduce the waiting time by more than 70 per cent, Yatani said. Kenya and Ethiopia signed a bilateral agreement in 2011 to develop the joint border point and road that will enhance bilateral trade. The engineer said it took longer than they had planned to construct the border point due to poor coordination with the Ethiopian side.
