Kenya eyes inland port at Busia to serve nearby States

Kenya aims to build a cargo logistics hub near the border with Uganda to receive and clear goods through customs that arrive by air, rail or road, easing pressure on the port of Mombasa and Nairobi airport, a senior regional official said.

The so-called “dry port” would be built near Malaba, along the route of a new rail line being built to provide a faster link for freight coming from the Coast.
