TANZANIA and Burundi will soon become first East African Community
(EAC) member- states to operationalise One Stop Border Post (OSBP) at
Kabanga/ Kobero entry point on pilot basis.
The move follows construction of temporary structures and installation
of computers at the border between the two countries through the
support of TradeMark East Africa (TMEA).
The operationalisation of the OSBP has also been made possible through
the bold decision of the governments of the two countries to sign an
OSBP bilateral agreement in 2011.
The Bilateral Agreement enables the countries to implement the OSBP
concept while waiting for relevant legislation in the near future.
According to the tentative timetable released during a recent
bi-lateral meeting between Tanzania and Burundi at Gitega in Burundi,
OSBP operations on pilot basis could start on June 7.
The launching of the OSBP operations at the border will bring huge
relief to travellers and traders from the two countries as they will
stop once for customs formalities instead of twice, thereby cutting
costs and time spent at the border. Clearance will also improve thanks
to more automation of operations.
Under the OSBP concept, people entering Burundi will by-pass the
Kabanga border post (Tanzania customs and immigration offices) and
proceed to Kobero in Burundi where Tanzanian customs and immigration
officials will work side by side.
Likewise those entering Tanzania will by-pass Kobero and stop only at
Kabanga where officials of both countries will be working side by
side.
According to the customs officials Adelius Francis (Tanzania)
andBigirimana Felix (Burundi), on average the border serves between 50
and 70 trucks per day, with more traffic moving from Tanzania into
Burundi. "Sometimes we attend to more than 100 trucks it depends on
the day," said Bigirimana who works at the Kobero border post.
Fully fledged OSPB operations at Kabanga/Kobero will begin after
construction of permanent structures. TMEA's Manager for OSBPs Mr
Israel Sekirasa told participants in the bilateral meeting who visited
the border on May 14, 2014 that construction of the OSBP at Kabanga is
expected to be completed by December 2014.
