Joshua Mwalyo","speaker":null,"content":"Kenyans are very enterprising. The timber we use for construction in Kenya is from Tanzania and Democratic Republic of Congo. I talked to a transporter who told me that before you bring a lorry-load of timber into this country, you part with a lot of money because of non- tariff barriers, tariffs and taxes that are imposed. All your expected profit and capital is eaten up. You are left with nothing with which to buy the next consignment."}
