Kenya and the United Kingdom are set for reconciliatory talks after a spat over Covid-19 risk levels triggered a tit-for-tat travel blockade from each of them.

The two countries Wednesday announced that a joint committee would be formed to review the travel restrictions which threatened bilateral trade, economic and security relations.
