Ministers from Kenya and Uganda are expected to have a meeting amid efforts to find a lasting solution to challenges facing truck drivers at the border points. The truck drivers have been camping on the Malaba, Webuye highway causing a major traffic snarl-up stretching for over 50 km. Last week operations at the Malaba One-Stop Border Post were suspended after the truck drivers blocked Kenya’s exit to Uganda. The suspension came two weeks after Kenya Long Distance Truck Drivers Association Secretary-General Nicholas Mbugua called on Kenyan drivers to stop going into Uganda. At least 18 truck drivers have tested positive for the disease.
