Lawmakers yesterday had no kind words for the Kenyan authorities as Parliament convened to discuss the ban on Uganda’s maize by Kenya.
The lawmakers called Kenya a bully in the East African region and called for a tit-for-tat response to the “unnecessary” ban on Ugandan and Tanzanian products.
They also tasked the government to explain why Uganda should continue to impress the East African Integration efforts when its neighbours are frustrating the Common Market protocol to which member states are signatories.
