Kenya is at crossroads as it might be required to pay between five and 22 percent taxes on its exports to Europe.
This comes after Tanzania failed to show up for the signing of the Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union which was to take place on Monday.
The agreement was to be signed during the ongoing United Nations Conference on Trade and Development meeting at the KICC, Nairobi.
Kenya, Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda turned up on Monday to sign the duty free and quota-free market access to the EU deal.
The four countries hoped that Tanzania would join them but their hopes were shattered.
According to local media, Tanzania's Foreign Affairs Permanent Secretary Aziz Mlima two weeks ago said his government will not sign the deal as it needs to monitor the impact of the British exit from the EU.
However, UNCTAD Secretary General Mukhisa Kituyi said failure to sign the deal “has no implications to the conference.”
