The economic relationship between Kenya and Uganda is symbiotic. Many of us tend to portray it as Kenyan philanthropy. Uganda is a centre piece in the lifeline of Kenya’s economy, the Great Lakes hinterland along the Northern Corridor. Kenya’s industry was erected to serve that market. It survives on servicing that market. Any attempt by Kenya to cut itself off from that market would be suicidal. As you know, Uganda is the quarter guard to and a bottle neck in Kenya’s access to that market, covering Uganda herself, Rwanda, Burundi, Eastern DRC and Southern Sudan. However, for suppliers and consumers, vulnerability is mutual. To think otherwise, like some of you do, is to hope that you can clap with one hand.
