Traders at Kisumu’s Jubilee market have made massive losses following transport delays at the Kenya-Uganda border as a result of stringent guidelines to curb Covid-19 spread.

The traders, who rely mostly on food and fruits imported from Uganda, yesterday said they had to wait four days to get supplies of vegetables, fruits and eggs from the neighbouring country.
