Importers to clear cargo within a day from next month

Importers could cut costs arising from delays at the port when in January Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) implements a plan that allows clearance of cargo before it lands.

Announcing the plan yesterday, KRA Commissioner General John Njiraini said that the move would help save on costs as well as ease congestion at the busy Port of Mombasa, which serves as the major gateway of trade to East Africa.
