Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni will make a state visit to Kenya this week.He will be in the county on Wednesday and Thursday for bilateral talks with President Uhuru Kenyatta.Museveni is the first leader to visit Kenya after Uhuru was sworn in for the second and final term in office on November 28 in Kasarani Stadium.He attended Uhuru's inauguration, and when he was asked to address the gathering on behalf of African leaders, he told Kenyans to move on and develop the country."You can't eat politics," he said in Kasarani.Uganda is Kenya's largest trade partner in the region and according to sources, business issues will feature prominently during the visit."President Kenyatta is looking to build on the already strong relationship between the two countries. Issues like Uganda picking its cargo from Nairobi's new Internal Container Depot after arrival via the SGR will take a centre stage," a source familiar with the plans of the visit said.On Saturday, Uhuru launched the ultra-modern Inland Container Depot in Embakasi and offered 50 per cent discount to exporters who will use the facility. The facility was upgraded at a cost of Sh22 billion.
