The East African Community is studying the impact of Kenya’s trade deal with the European Union to determine its impact on member states, the result of protestations from some of Nairobi’s peers.

The move came after the East African Sectoral Council on Trade, Industry, Finance and Investment (SCTIFI) directed the secretariat of the regional bloc to look into the impact of the bilateral Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs).
