By IAN BYRON More by this AuthorMore than 100 Kenyan lorries have been impounded by Tanzanian authorities at the Isebania border since Tuesday, renewing tension between the two countries over the truck drivers’ Covid-19 status. On June 2, however, tension rose again after Tanzanian authorities refused to recognise the Kenyan truckers’ Covid-19 test results, which had been issued by health authorities in Arusha and Mwanza. Mr Ndirangu Ndungu, another driver faulted Kenyan Immigration officials for not intervening even after they lodged a complaint at the Isebania Customs office. Attempts to reach the county Immigration officer at the Isebania border point, Mr Bernard Rotich, were fruitless. He said there were plans to establish a dry port at Namanga border from which Kenyan truckers could collect goods.
