Kenya will gradually remove taxes on imports from the UK after seven years following a trade pact the two countries signed Tuesday last week.

Mr James Duddridge, the UK minister for Africa, said the deal— strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) — is aimed at “doing more trade with less friction” between the UK and the six-nation East African Community bloc.
