Kenya reaffirmed its commitment to provide Uganda access to the Indian Ocean after President Yoweri Museveni warned of possible future conflicts over sea access. Foreign Affairs CS Musalia Mudavadi said Kenya adheres to international conventions and benefits from facilitating transit for landlocked neighbors. Kenyan officials emphasized diplomacy and legal frameworks such as the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. In contrast, Kenyan commentators criticized Museveni’s remarks and urged dialogue to avoid tensions.
