Cargo transport to Uganda resumes


The Northern corridor in Kenya is now secure enough for transportation of cargo to Uganda.
This follows a brief hitch due to the post election violence that engulfed the country for most of the first two months of the year.

Transport minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere said normalcy has returned in all parts of the country and that the clearing of cargo at the Mombasa port is being done on a 24-hour basis to clear congestion.

Mwakwere who is leading a Kenyan delegation on a tour of Uganda said poll related violence had disrupted the economies of all landlocked countries in the region.
Uganda's acting transport Minister, John Byabagambi lauded the signing of the National Accord and Reconciliation pact between PNU and ODM as an indication that peace had been restored in Kenya.
