[kictanet] Fwd: [i-network] WTO | 2015 News items - WTO members reach landmark l.3 trillion IT trade deal

[waudo siganga]

Thanks Barrack. Unfortunately Kenya is not  a signatory to this deal. In
Africa only Egypt, Morocco and Mauritius (the leading IT powerhouses on
the continent) have signed on. Kenya is stuck with the "stone-age" EA
Common Tariffs. It is ironic that the expanded Information Technology
Agreement will be being celebrated at December's WTO meeting in Nairobi
when the host country is not party to it.
