President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Tanzania counterpart John Magufuli have ordered an urgent meeting of their ministers to resolve long running trade disputes between the two States.
Traders from both countries have raised issues with growing administrative barriers that have cropped up to slow trade between the States that have been trying to integrate their economies in the last 18 years.
“We have small issues relating to businesses and traders between Kenya and Tanzania. We want Kenya and Tanzania ministers to meet urgently and resolve these issues,” said Dr Magufuli at the sidelines of a summit of the East African Community (EAC) in Kampala, Uganda.
