Uganda has sensationally sued Kenya at the East African Court of Justice for denying government-owned oil marketer Uganda National Oil Company (Unoc) a licence to operate and handle fuel imports at the Mombasa Port headed for Kampala.

Uganda says in the suit that Kenya’s Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) has denied it a licence to import fuel through the Kenyan port and also use the pipeline infrastructure to transport it.
