Ugandan traders have warned that a continued night travel ban by the Kenyan government on long-distance public service vehicles will lead to a hike in prices of commodities.

According to the chairman Kampala City Traders Association (Kacita), Mr Everest Kayondo, this is because the ban has cost implications on the side of traders due to the increased number of transaction days.
