As of June 14, 2020, hundreds of truck drivers heading to Uganda and back to Kenya have been stranded for six days following a delay in relaying COVID-19 test results.

According to a video report, the truckers are frustrated with the prolonged wait, which has disrupted their business operations and caused financial losses.

The situation has prompted the truckers to threaten a boycott of COVID-19 testing, which could have far-reaching consequences for the country's economy.
