Kenya’s police have banned imported Ugandan trucks from operating on the country’s highways without mud flaps, adding to the growing list of non-tariffs barriers that hinder intra-regional trade.

Uganda reported that the Kenyan police are charging truck drivers a fine of Ksh30,000 ($291.54) for failure to abide by the order.
