Uganda to suspend mandatory Covid-19 testing at the border with Kenya after the measure caused huge truck queues that disrupted fuel supplies across the country
In Kampala and other towns, many motorists were rushing to fill their tanks fearing further shortages, causing traffic jams.
He said the move was also aimed at averting a "potential super-spreader" event at the border with so many drivers caught in the logjam. In some parts of the country, petrol stations had run out of fuel while at others, petrol was selling for $3.40 , a threefold increase.The border delays first began in late December when truckers staged protests at a Covid-19 testing fee imposed by Uganda.
"It was a recipe for disaster because of congestion of trucks at the borders, a situation that has seen the fuel prices hit all-time highs."
