President Uhuru Kenyatta has denied the existence of any row between Kenya and Tanzania.
While speaking Saturday when he commissioned a container terminal at the port of Mombasa,Uhuru termed the perceived feud a creation of the media.
“I read a lot of newspapers and watch television news indicating there is a conflict between us, but I want to clearly state here that Kenya and Tanzania are not in a conflict with each other,” he said.
He added that the economies of the two nations are complementing each other for the benefits of each other and as such at not engaged in any rivalry.
There have been speculations that the two countries are in a row following Tanzania's president John Magufuli's failure to visit Kenya or attend critical fora hosted in the country since his election as president in 2015.
In April Uganda allegedly dumped Kenya for Tanzania in an oil pipeline deal that also saw Kenya's energy CS Charles Keter and his delegation briefly detained at the port of Tanga amid simmering diplomatic row.
