Fish traders in Busia sort salted fish from Lake Turkana on Wednesday. Kenyan traders are counting losses after Ugandan authorities blocked them from transporting their fish to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) through their territory. “Ugandan and Congolese fish traders appear to have conspired to short-change us. Busia Retail Dry Fish Traders chairperson Mercy Akinyi said that after their cargo was impounded, the Ugandans started helping their Congolese counterparts to transport the fish using their lorries. Mr Aketch said Kenyan traders managed to export part of their fish consignment from Busia border through different arrangements.
