The minister for information and national guidance, Mary Karoro has assured Ugandans who run business via Kenya boarder that unlike 2007, there are alternative  routes  for  their business in case anything bad happens during  the 2013 Kenya elections.

Minister Karoro’s assurance to traders came after Ugandan traders doing business through Kenya started worrying for themselves as the Kenyan polls kick off noting that if the 2007 post election violence occurs this time, it will greatly affect their business as most of their goods currently in Kenya risk being destroyed.

In response ,Orurut says that  the  southern Sudan route to the sea via Tanzania will be available for them to run business.

She  adds that  government has  also refurbished national Oil reservoirs in Jinja and facilities to receive products.

She says that with the  Southern route remaining operational and companies having requisite stock to cover the election period  ,Uganda’s businesses  will  still be able to operate largely normally.

She said that the  Uganda government has all the faith that what has been an elaborate election cycle in Kenya will end peacefully and further cement the country’s democratic credential.
