Launch comes after the rollout of the National Action Plan Against Illicit trade.
The Anti-Counterfeit Authority (ACA) has launched a nationwide series of engagement with the County Security Committees in a bid to fight trade in counterfeits and illicit trade across the country.
Speaking at the event, the Deputy Head of Public Service, Mr. Wanyama Musiambo said “Fighting illicit economy requires a range of solutions from partnerships, technology to changes in public policy. We are engaging county securities committees because they have grassroot representation to enforce the law and create public awareness to our consumers”. These partnerships are part of the deliverables of the National Action Plan for combating Illicit Trade in Kenya that was launched in June this year. The Action Plan lays down the levels of engagement and steps that be taken to reduce the illicit trade at the county level.
