{{Owing to delays experienced by Ugandan traders at Port Mombasa, the government of Uganda is seeking to manage ports in the East african community.}}<\/p>\n
Uganda is a major importer of goods through the mombasa port and other ports on the East African coastal line.<\/p>\n
A senior official in Uganda’s Ministry of East African Community (EAC) Affairs, Edith Mwanje said Thursday that Uganda should have a say in the management of ports because of “the too many delays” at the ports, which she said affect trade.<\/p>\n
“Let us be recognized as full stakeholders in the management of ports. The ports should be managed collectively as EAC,” she noted during a ‘validation workshop on Uganda’s country position on the single Customs Territory’ held in Kampala.<\/p>\n
The Single customs Territory provides for free movement of goods in the EAC partner states, non-payment of tax of the good that are circulating in the states and imposition of a common tax on goods coming from outside the territory, Mwanje explained.<\/p>\n
