Kenyan long distance truck drivers have said they are still continuing their protests at Malaba on the Kenyan-Ugandan border, despite an order from the East African community addressing their concerns.

The Kenya Transporters Association Limited (KTA) also sent communication to its more than 5,000 members who were on strike to resume their journey, following Uganda’s move to remove mandatory testing at the border.
