Kenya gives Tanzania two weeks to resolve tour vans dispute

Kenya has given Tanzania a two-week ultimatum to review the bilateral agreement that will allow the latter’s tourism vans to access the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in the latest spat between the two East African countries.

Failure to agree, both countries will resort to the 1985 bilateral agreement that stipulates how tourism vans access each country’s market. Kenya will continue to bar the vans from accessing JKIA as stipulated in the agreement. The row has elicited mistrust, suspicion and delicate relationship between the two countries in an already sour relation between the two East African Community neighbours and trade partners.
