Fresh details emerge about a court order barring licensing and Cabinet indecisiveness as analysts question communication between the States.
Kampala holds that Nairobi has breached Article 93 (c) and (d) of the East African (EAC) Treaty that provide that for maritime transport and ports.
A court order and delays by the Kenyan government to waive licensing requirements denied Uganda National Oil Company (Unoc) a permit to operate locally, prompting Kampala to escalate the matter to the regional court.
Documents seen by the Business Daily show that the High Court in November last year stopped Kenya’s energy regulator from proceeding with a review of Unoc’s licence application, a ruling that was twice extended to December and later to January 22.
