Kenya's top bureaucrat demands tighter trade oversight and anti-corruption measures. Head of Public Service Felix Koskei stressed efficiency and alignment with national goals during a briefing with the KenTrade board. He emphasized accountability and a zero-tolerance stance on corruption within all government services, urging the board to ensure effective trade facilitation.

Koskei directed the agency to unlock the country's trade potential through its National Electronic Single Window System. This platform integrates numerous government services to streamline approvals and reduce bureaucratic delays. Operated by KenTrade, the system aims to strengthen Kenya's competitiveness in regional and global markets.

The state corporation manages an online platform for filing trade documents electronically. It supports processing, approval, and payment for import and export transactions, reducing paperwork. KenTrade's mandate includes implementing related policies and integrating electronic platforms from both public and private sector actors.

Additional agency roles involve facilitating electronic data exchange and conducting e-commerce research. It maintains an electronic goods database, generates trade statistics, and coordinates sector training. Policy analysts recognize the system's growing significance for regional trade harmonization and logistics corridor efficiency.
