Expenditure on imports from Uganda declined 9.09 per cent in the first quarter of the year, pointing to the impact of an on-and-off tiff between Nairobi and Kampala over the entry of key farm goods such as eggs and milk powder.
The value of goods trucked into Kenya from Uganda through formal routes dropped to Sh7.48 billion in the three months through March 2024 compared with Sh8.23 billion the year before, according to provisional official trade statistics.
