Kenyan matchbox maker sues Tanzania over new import tax
The Kenyan government recently formally objected to Tanzania's new business rules and tax measures, labelling them as discriminatory and an obstruction to economic integration.
Kenyan-based safety matches manufacturer Match Masters Limited has sued Tanzania for introducing an import tax that has made it difficult to compete against rivals in the neighbouring country.
Match Masters has filed a suit at the East Africa Court of Justice (EACJ) seeking a reversal of the tax, arguing that the new levy is in breach of the regional common market rules.
