What is the end game of Uganda-Kenya trade war?<\/p>\n

Kenyan fish farmers claim Ugandan officials had confiscated fish worth more than $400,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrade in fish exports to DRC has been going on for many decades though with intermittent disruptions occasioned by misunderstanding between Kenya and Uganda on the nationality of the fish with Uganda often suspecting that the fish are undersize fish sourced from Ugandan waters, specifically Lakes Victoria and Kyoga,\u201d said Dr Kevit Desai, PS Ministry of EAC and Regional Development, who is also the chairperson of the EAC Principal Secretary\/Permanent Secretaries Council.<\/p>\n

\u201cUgandan officials made a verification visit to Kenya\u2019s Lake Turkana where most of the fish originates. After a number of meetings, the issue of compensation has now been resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kenyan fish traders operating in Busia town export fish to eastern parts of upper DR Congo that border Uganda. Their exports end up in Bukavu, Kisangani, Goma and other eastern DR Congo cities.<\/p>\n

However, Ugandan officials disputed the source of the fish claiming the Kenyan fish exports originate from Migingo Island and Lake Kyoga in Uganda, a claim that Kenyan fish traders denied.<\/p>\n

They also agreed to form a multi-agency team that will determine modalities of fish transportation from Kenya, through Uganda to the DRC.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the county commissioner of Busia, a multi-agency team will be set up to agree on the modalities of evacuation of our fish from Kenya to the DR Congo,\u201d said Owino.<\/p>\n
