EAC states should keep work permit fees – at least for now

Editor, I think that the complete waiver of work permit fees among the East African Community (EAC) partner states is not necessary at the moment. East African countries are still relatively poor and generating revenue where and when you can is not only a smart move but it is also a necessary one. Perhaps we can implement a system that actually weighs the earnings of the workers as well as the duration of their employment contracts and charge them accordingly.
