The Anti-Counterfeit Authority is in the process of implementing varied methods to fight trade in illicit goods that costs Kenya upwards of Sh40 billion annually.
Dr Mbugua said the ACA has rolled out a strategic plan in which it will engage with internal collaborators, sister government agencies and regional anti-counterfeit bodies to work in tandem by sharing information and helping in enforcement of the law against the perpetrators of illicit trade. He said intelligence-sharing across agencies had proved to be effective in slowing down proliferation of fake goods.
Dr Mbugua said:"Cheap in expensive. This is the message we are spreading out to consumers across the country, through our six regional branches that generally cover all parts of Kenya."
