Kenya assures Museveni as demands for sea access grow louder in East Africa
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, who said Uganda has long been “locked out of what rightfully belongs to us,” urging Kenya to grant his country direct access to the Indian Ocean.
Kenya has assured President Yoweri Museveni that it will not block Uganda from accessing the Indian Ocean after he said that his country was disadvantaged in terms of building a navy and trade because of being landlocked.
But Musalia Mudavadi, Prime Cabinet Secretary and foreign affairs minister, who made the assurance on Wednesday, did not state whether Kampala would be granted permission to train its navy on the shores of the Indian Ocean.
