Tanzania has imposed a requirement on grain traders to get an export permit before shipping maize out of the country, in a policy shift that has locked already bought stocks of grain by Kenyan millers at the border.

Kenyan millers say the new requirement could paralyse their operations at a time scarcity of grain and other costs of production have conspired to push the price of flour towards Ksh200 ($1.70) for a two-kilo packet.

Millers say the requirement was not there before after the two countries resolved their trade dispute last year.

This has seen hundreds of trucks stuck at the Namanga border post, cutting the supply of grain to Kenya given that Tanzania is the only source of maize where processors are getting grain from at the moment after local stocks fizzled out.

“Our tracks have been stopped from proceeding to Kenya and we are currently incurring more cost on delay charges even as our milling plants have grounded to a halt for lack of stock to process,” said John Gathogo, the publicity secretary of animal feeds manufacturers.

Politics, including geopolitics, is about interests. Opening up Eastern DRC for Kenyans would serve our economic and food security interests. Our southern neighbour is blinded by self interests. They only cooperate when it suits them.

TZ is the anchor dragging the bloc behind. Wanabehave kama slay queens, especially mahali wanajua unawategemea, utaumia proper. Ndio maana kulikuwa na coalition of the willing wakati wa megafool
