Ruto, Museveni deplore trade barriers in East Africa
Trade restrictions among East African Community partner states are hurting economic progress in the region, Kenyan President William Ruto and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni have warned. At a joint press statement on Wednesday at the State House Nairobi, the two leaders expressed concern over reluctance by partners to open up markets. The two leaders met in Nairobi to discuss various issues, including trade, security, and overall regional peace. The meeting came amid a rise of non-tariff barriers in a region where intra-trade is low. The leaders discussed 'persistent non-tariff barriers that hinder the flow of goods and frustrate the objectives of regional integration under the EAC framework.'They did not name the culprits, but the meeting came as Tanzania roiled the regional Common Market by banning foreigners from engaging in 'small businesses.'In a Special Supplement on July 28, Dodoma argued it was shielding locals from unfair competition from foreigners. The private sector condemned the move. According to the EAC Secretariat, intra-EAC trade has been rising steadily, albeit struggling with NTBs. In 2024, the EAC's total trade with the rest of the world grew by 14.17 percent to $124.9 billion, from $109.4 billion. Intra-trade increased by 9.35 percent, reaching $15.2 billion, or 12.17 percent of the total trade volume. Yet experts at the East African Business Council say this could be as high as 60 percent were member states intent on implementing decisions they make around the common external tariff and non-tariff barriers. The EAC Council of Ministers says that addressing common external tariff (CET) challenges and eliminating NTBs would unlock $63.4 billion in regional trade. According to President Ruto is the chair of the EAC Heads of State Summit. He said that a Joint Monitoring Committee (JMC) will hold its mid-term review in October, which will be crucial on the matters which affects trade across the borders. JMC is the formal joint technical committee meant to respond to issues affecting the two sides. Ruto and Museveni signed agreement on eight areas: trade, energy, mining, tourism, agriculture and animal industry, fisheries and aquaculture, investment promotion and transport. Both reiterated the need for regional peace and stability.'We reaffirmed our position that security is essential to sustainable development and commended ongoing regional peace-building initiatives. We further agreed to collaborate closely in conflict resolution efforts, advocating inclusive approaches, supported by both regional and international frameworks,' their joint communique said.

BADEA approves $120mln to support Shelter Afrique Development Bank capitalization program
Nairobi, Kenya – Shelter Afrique Development Bank (ShafDB) has announced the signing of a strategic agreement with the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) to support its transformative capital increase initiative. Effectively, BADEA has approved a landmark USD 120 million to support the capitalization program of Shelter Afrique Development Bank, the leading Pan-African institution focused on affordable housing and urban development. The concessional financing facility will help eligible member states settle and increase their capital subscriptions to ShafDB. This initiative, developed in partnership with the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA), introduces an innovative financing mechanism through which eligible member states can access on-lending at competitive terms. The BADEA-supported facility, totaling USD 120 million, will be used to settle and boost member states' capital subscriptions to Shelter Afrique Development Bank (ShafDB). 'This agreement with BADEA marks a critical step in strengthening our capital base and advancing our mission of financing affordable housing and sustainable urban infrastructure across Africa,' said Thierno Habib-Hann, Managing Director of Shelter Afrique Development Bank. 'We are grateful to BADEA for its strong partnership and unwavering support in this pivotal phase of our institutional evolution.' The new capital increase program includes an initial equal allocation to all member states, followed by a phased reallocation, first on a pro-rata basis, and then on a first-come, first-served basis. This approach aims to encourage active participation by member states and to strengthen ShafDB's capital adequacy in a balanced and transparent manner. Commenting on the program, the president of BADEA H.E. Abdullah KH ALMUSAIBEEH, 'We see this capital program as a strategic milestone in Shelter Afrique Development Bank's evolution. BADEA is proud to back this initiative and we remain committed to our shared mission of enabling access to decent housing and inclusive urban development across Africa.' The need to enhance equity capital has become critical following the institution's transformation into a Development Bank, a milestone formally approved by Shelter Afrique's shareholders during the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held in Algiers, Algeria, in October 2023. Building on this transformation, a significant achievement was realized during the Annual General Meeting in June 2024 in Kigali, Rwanda, where shareholders demonstrated strong leadership by endorsing a transformative capital increase program, and the board approved in December 2024 a capital increase of over a USD 200 million. 'Expanding capital base will enable the Bank to scale up financing along the housing value chain, access more competitive funding from international and African capital markets, and reinforce its role in addressing the housing deficit and driving inclusive urban development across its 44 member states,' Mr. Hann said. Increased leverage The capital increase program has been designed to significantly strengthen ShafDB's balance sheet over the medium-term, expand its shareholder capital base, and to significantly mobilize debts. The capital raised will also support the Bank's plans to attain investment-grade credit ratings, attract new institutional investors, and expand its lending and technical assistance programs in member countries. About Shelter Afrique Development Bank: Established in 1981 in Lusaka, Zambia, Shelter Afrique Development Bank (ShafDB) is a Pan-African Multilateral Development Bank (MDB) dedicated to promoting and financing sustainable green housing, urban development and related infrastructure.

Kenya, Uganda win $2bln claim case in London over failed rail concession
Kenya and Uganda have blocked a $2 billion claim lodged by Rift Valley Railways (RVR) in the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) over a collapsed 25-year concession to run the 2,350-kilometre Kenya-Uganda railway. The concession was terminated by Nairobi and Kampala in 2017 after RVR, the consortium that managed the railway system, failed to meet the contractual obligations. The case began when KU Railway Holdings Ltd (formerly Sheltam Rail Company Pty) and RVR Investments Ltd initiated arbitral proceedings at the London Court of Arbitration against Kenya and Uganda in 2020, seeking compensation for breach of the concession agreements for the sum of $2,005,900,000. These agreements related to the operation, construction and management of the now-defunct Rift Valley Railways line, a joint freight and passenger transport project between the two nations. In its ruling, the LCIA entirely dismissed the $2 billion claim, awarding costs in favour of Kenya, according to its Attorney-General.'This outcome not only upholds the integrity of Kenya's legal and commercial commitments but also protects the Kenyan taxpayer from what would have been a staggering financial liability,' said a press statement from the AG's office on Friday. 'This win reaffirms Kenya's resolve to uphold lawful governance, protect public resources and maintain international credibility.'Termination noticesThe dispute stemmed from a 25-year concession granted to RVR in 2006 to operate the metre gauge railway in Kenya and Uganda, following a World Bank recommendation in 1998. RVR operated the line until its concession was terminated in 2017, just around the time Kenya unveiled its standard gauge railway (SGR) line, reflecting the challenges of public-private partnerships (PPP) in infrastructure projects in the East African region. RVR had failed to meet contractual obligations, including payment of concession fees and achieving freight targets. In 2017, Kenya Railways issued RVR a 90-day notice of intention to terminate the concession on account of unpaid fees amounting to Ksh600 million ($4.65 million), inadequate investment and failure to meet the contractual freight volumes. This was followed by a termination notice after RVR failed to address the issues. Kenya was followed by Uganda in terminating the concession to run its railway line in the same year. Uganda also cited failure by RVR to meet its obligations as set out in the concession agreement signed when the firm took over the Kenya-Uganda Railway in 2006. Kenya was on April 2020, served with an initial notice of arbitration and an amended notice of arbitration a week later notifying the Nairobi and Kampala governments of the arbitral proceedings. The Kenya Railway Corporation and Uganda Railway Corporation had signed the concession documents in a deal that would have seen the two bodies transfer their railway assets to RVR in return for an 11 percent of gross revenue during the concession period. © Copyright 2022 Nation Media Group.
