Mombasa port handled 9.54 million tons of cargo in the first three months of this year up from 8.62 million tons it processed in the same period last year despite the Covid-19 pandemic.

Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) on Thursday said the 10.7 per cent growth in the volume of business at the port was due to the opening up of ports in China and increased efficiency at the facility.
