Relief as Kenya, Zambia ease border restrictions


THURSDAY MAY 14 2020

In Summary

• So far, Kenya has turned back 25 truck drivers who tested positive for Covid-19 in the last 24 hours at the Namanga border point, the Health ministry said in Nairobi yesterday (Wednesday). The foreigners included 23 Tanzanians, a Ugandan and a Rwandan, Health Chief Administrative Secretary Rashid Aman said.

Arusha/Tunduma. There was some relief yesterday regarding the recent border closures yesterday, with Kenya allowing Tanzanian truck drivers to cross the Namanga entry point after producing Covid-19 test results.

Londigo District Commissioner Frank Mwaisumbe said yesterday some of the 300 trucks that were denied entry into Kenya until their drivers had undergone Covid-19 tests, had been allowed to proceed.

“We have reached an agreement. One can now test in Tanzania and then produce the results certificate at the border to be allowed by the Kenyan authorities to proceed with the journey,” he said.However, those who tested positive were denied entry into Kenya.

So far, Kenya has turned back 25 truck drivers who tested positive for Covid-19 in the last 24 hours at the Namanga border point, the Health ministry said in Nairobi yesterday (Wednesday). The foreigners included 23 Tanzanians, a Ugandan and a Rwandan, Health Chief Administrative Secretary Rashid Aman said.

At the Tunduma-Nakonde border between Tanzania and Zambia, a decision by Zambia to close the entry point has seen both countries feeling the pinch, prompting the latter to consider reviewing its own decision.Zambia imports some of its essential products via Tanzania’s ports.

As a result, the Zambian government directed customs clearing agents earlier yesterday to clear oil tankers so they can enter Zambia, according to the chairman of clearing agents association at the border, Mr Waziri Msangi.

“We were asked to clear all oil tankers and avert creating a petroleum crisis in Zambia but as clearing agents, we refused. We want the Government of Zambia to allow all vehicles at the border to be cleared,” he said.

This, he said, was because 85 percent of vehicles that were stranded at the border were destined for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

“So we thought the decision to allow only oil tankers was not in good faith rather, it was simply meant to help one country in its petroleum requirements,” he said.

It’s estimated that by yesterday evening, 1,500 trucks would’ve been stranded at the Tunduma-Nakonde border.“We have asked TRA [Tanzania Revenue Authority] to ensure that they do not allow the processing of oil tankers only at the expense of others,” he said.

The temporal border closure is also delaying Zambia’s main copper exports via Dar es Salaam, reports say.

With strict coronavirus lockdown in South Africa, Dar es Salaam becomes the only economically viable option for Lorries and other vehicles on the Tanzanian side of the country’s border with Zambia.

Zambia’s Muchinga province Minister Malozo Sichone told Reuters by phone from Nakonde on Tuesday that the country had a good number of trucks that needed to be cleared to go out of the central African nation.

Sichone said priority would be given to trucks entering Zambia with essential goods such as fuel, medical supplies and food. He could not say for how long the border would remain closed. “What will inform us is the extent to which we disinfect the town and test people,” Sichone told Reuters.

Zambia temporarily closed the border with Tanzania effective Monday, May 11 after the Nakonde district recorded its highest single day increase of 76 new Covid-19 cases on Saturday, May 9. At the Namanga border with Kenya, Mr Mwaisumbe said the government would make the Covid-19 testing exercise easier by transferring test kits closer to the border.

This was in apparent response to drivers’ com-plaints that the exercise was taking too long and that staying at the border for a long time was unhealthy to them.

Frank Mkane, who drives vehicles belonging to the Dar es Salaam-based Jambo Flight, said spending more time at the border was bad for their health, noting that guest houses at border points need not be trusted.

Relief as Kenya, Zambia ease border restrictions

MY TAKE
After asserting her options, Tanzania has started to leverage her advantageous position and consequently exercise her authority towards Zambia, the freighters association has refused to export only selected products! Zambia is soon to enter a panic mode.

Queries raised over military choppers that have yet to fly

In Summary

• DoD says Z-9 aircraft “not grounded”, but they’ve been on the ground since arrival

By DAVID OKWEMBAH
Did Kenya buy defective helicopters from China? That is the question being asked by military engineers after it became apparent that eight Chinese choppers delivered to Nairobi in January have not been flown.

The helicopters were bought from a company that has previously supplied planes to Kenya.

However, the ministry of Defence said the helicopters had not been grounded but did not explain why they have not taken to the air three months after they were delivered.

“We wish to state that so far we do not have any Z-9 helicopters which are grounded,” the DoD spokesman Bogita Ongeri said in response to enquiries about the aircraft. But engineers at DoD said the military utility helicopters had never been airborne since they were delivered in January.

Sources at DoD said several of the eight helicopters were meant to beef up the VIP fleet that is usually at the disposal of the President, Prime Minister and the Vice-President.

Currently, President Kibaki uses the French-manufactured Puma helicopters that are reconfigured for VIP usage.

As military utility helicopters, the Z-9 have a variety of roles including ground attack, air assault, cargo, reconnaissance and troop transport. They can carry 10 armed soldiers.

VIP fleet
Engineers note that while they expected the “new” helicopters to reinforce the VIP fleet, they were disappointed that they had not flown three months after arrival.

“For three months we have waited for them to take to the skies but to no avail,” our source, who cannot be named as he is not authorised to speak to the media, said.

The Harbin Z-9 is a Chinese military utility helicopter licence-built version of the French Eurocopter Dauphin.

The first Z-9 flew in 1981, and was built in China by the Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corp from components supplied by Aérospatiale.

This is the same French firm that supplied the Puma helicopters still in service for the Kenya Air Force.

The latest armed version, the Z-9WA, was introduced in 2005 and has night attack capabilities with an under-nose low-light TV and infra-red observing and tracking unit.

Information on the purchase of the choppers is contained in the latest factsheet of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), which monitors worldwide purchase and transfer of military hardware.

According to SIPRI, the four Z-9WA armed version helicopters were ordered last year by the ministry of Defence and delivered in January.

The DoD termed the purchase of the helicopters a prerequisite for readiness on the part of the military.

Mr Ongeri said the acquisition of the helicopters is one of a series of steps aimed at modernising the armed forces.

“We have an obligation to equip our soldiers with the very best, most modern equipment/systems our nation and budget can provide,” he said.

Without revealing how the country procured the aircraft, DoD said contracts in regard to procurement of military equipment the world over take a long time.

Last week, SIPRI disclosed that Kenya had spent more than Sh45 billion on military equipment.

This was the third largest budgetary military expenditure in Eastern and Southern Africa.

Kenya’s expenditure
African countries that exceeded Kenya’s expenditure were South Africa and Angola.

Last year, DoD was on the spot when it insisted that tanks imported from the Ukraine belonged to Kenya while it was generally assumed the end user was Southern Sudan.

The department promised to take journalists on a trip to show the tanks in action but, more than a year since the pledge, nothing has come of it.

Since President Kibaki took office late in December 2002, Kenya has continually looked to China and Eastern Europe countries for its arms and military hardware.

In 2006, Kenya bought an estimated 400 troop-carrying vehicles from China in a deal that sparked questions from other suppliers.

A year later, Kenya bought 32 armoured personnel carriers from China.

Earlier, the country had received Y-12 military utility planes from the same country.

Queries over the state of the Chinese choppers came as the Sunday Nation learned that the much-awaited Jordanian fighter jets that cost taxpayers Sh1.6 billion are expected in the country next month.

Meanwhile, DoD has said it is in negotiations with the Spanish firm awarded the tender to build a warship for the Kenya Navy in May 2003.

Mr Ongeri said DoD has entered into arbitration with the ship manufacturers, Astilleros Gondan, and the company awarded the deal, Euromarine Industries.

The Defence and Foreign Relations Committee chaired by the then Laikipia West MP, Mr G.G. Kariuki, had in 2007 asked the government to hire independent experts to evaluate the naval ship’s works and services done as a basis for working out payments to the shadowy Euromarine Industries.

“Other options the government may consider include nullifying existing contracts and renegotiating new terms and entering into new well thought-out agreements with a clear exit strategy to safeguard public funds,” the report says.

The committee recommended that those who deliberately make the government enter into irregular and lop-sided procurement contracts where Kenya stands to lose money, image and international standing should be dealt with firmly.

Naval ship contract
The committee urged the government to bear in mind the need to protect public funds in whatever action it takes on the naval ship contract.

Although DoD declined to state how much money had been paid to Euromarine Industries, independent sources put the figure at Sh2.3 billion.

Euromarine Industries is reported to be demanding a staggering Sh1.8 billion for same ship.

The naval ship deal is among the 18 dodgy contracts that the government either terminated or suspended after the Anglo Leasing and Finance scandal blew up.

Euromarine Industries was awarded the contract to construct the ship for a staggering Sh4.1 billion (Euros 51,997,000).

The firm is said to have proposed a medium term financial package that was to ease the budgetary burden on the government.
