Local media have reported that there are small pockets of violence in Kisumu and Eldoret and other areas of Nairobi which have affected movements of cargo trucks.
To Jjemba Mulondo, the Vice-chairperson of the Kampala City Traders Association (KACITA) there is a likelihood of looming price hikes in Uganda caused by the long ques of trucks at the ports.
The KACITA Vice Chairman says over 4,000 trucks are stuck at the Kenyan port of Mombasa due to safety concerns among the truck drivers.
“The country is likely to witness price hikes of some commodities due to limited supply until the truckers and the business people are assured of their safety and their goods,” says Mulondo
Yesterday, the National Security Advisory Committee of Kenya urged Kenyans to resume their daily activities as the government continues to ensure the entirety of the country is safe and secure.
