Kenya and Uganda have launched a project to reaffirm border markers vandalised for extraction of by-products believed to be valuable for resale.
The markers, some of which had never been repaired since independence, were destroyed as bandits targeted them over unverified claims that the material used to erect them was made from valuable minerals.
