Kenya has defended herself on its move to stop a cargo ship en route to Zanzibar loaded with radioactive materials, saying the decision is within the international treaty to protect Africa from the import of harmful waste.
Nairobi says ordering the ship to return the 20-feet container, which was detected emitting high radiation levels, to India was within the Bamako Convention, which prohibits the import into Africa of any hazardous materials, including radioactive waste.
