Kenyan traders say they are stuck with at least 300 tonnes of fish destined for export at the Ugandan border due to an ongoing row between Kampala and Nairobi.

Early last month, officials from Uganda's Fisheries Protection Unit (FPU) at the Mpondwe border, one of three major crossings between the country and the Democratic Republic of Congo, impounded five Kenyan trucks carrying fish destined for DRC.
