State explains cause of recent delays in cargo clearance at Mombasa port

Kenya: The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure has identified extreme weather conditions in the high seas that were experienced during the months of June and July as one of the reasons for delays in clearing of goods in and out of the port of Mombasa.

According to Transport Principal Secretary Nduva Muli, the delays have also been caused by the upsurge in trans-shipment traffic and ongoing civil works at the yards and construction of new gates and port roads.
