KAMPALA, July 10 (NNN-KBC) — Security agencies from Kenya and Uganda held a consultative meeting in Uganda on how they will solve the constant harassment of Kenyan fishermen by Ugandan officers.

Acting Busia County Commissioner Kipchumba Rutto and his Ugandan counterpart Micheal Kibwika say investigations have commenced with collaboration from both Kenya and Uganda officers to establish the root cause of the scuffle that claimed the two lives.
