Kenya and Uganda have agreed to eliminate all tariff and non-tariff barriers hindering trade between the two countries, in line with the East African Community (EAC) treaty and protocols. In a joint communique issued in Mbale, Uganda, on Saturday, Investments, Trade and Industry Cabinet Secretary Lee Kinyanjui and his Ugandan counterpart, General Wilson Mbasu, pledged to clear truck congestion at key cross-border points, including Malaba, Busia, Suam, and Lwakhakha, to ensure the smooth flow of goods, services, and people.
