Kenya lifts ban on Ugandan milk products.

Uganda’s first Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for East African Community Affairs, Ms Rebecca Kadaga Wednesday said Kenya had suspended its ban on importation of the country’s milk products.
Last week, Kenya said its milk processors had been protected from competition after the neighboring East African nation ordered the indefinite suspension of milk powder imports.

Kenya Dairy Board said rains are expected this month, an outcome that will reportedly significantly boost the country’s milk production and reduce the need for imports.

“In anticipation of the long rains, the government has stopped the importation of milk powders to cushion the industry from surplus production and low producer prices,” the board’s managing director, Margaret Kibogy wrote to milk powder importers in a letter dated March 6.

However, Ms Kadaga on Wednesday said she had held fruitful discussions with Kenyan authorities about the issue.
“I’m delighted to inform the dairy Industry in Uganda that the ban on milk products has been suspended. I have also had fruitful discussions with the Mr Abdi Dubat, Permanent Secretary Kenya Ministry of East African Community on bilateral issues,” Ms Kadaga tweeted quoting a letter from Kenya’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock development.

"Reference is made to the recent communication made by Kenya Dairy Board regarding the stoppage of milk powder imports.

WHO declares Uganda Ebola free.

Uganda on Wednesday declared an end to an Ebola virus outbreak that emerged almost four months ago and claimed the lives of 55 people.
"We have successfully controlled the Ebola outbreak in Uganda," Health Minister Jane Ruth Aceng said at a ceremony in the central district of Mubende, where the disease was first detected in September.
The move was confirmed in a statement issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), whose chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus hailed the East African country's "robust and comprehensive response" to the widely-feared haemorrhagic fever.
Under the WHO's criteria, an outbreak of the disease officially ends when there are no new cases for 42 consecutive days -- twice the virus's incubation period.
