Kenya has granted South Sudan a 10-acre piece of land in Naivasha to build a dry port that is meant to ease the movement of goods and boost trade between the two countries.

The dry port will be built at the Inland Container Depot (ICD) at the Naivasha Special Economic Zones and will serve as a logistics hub for the Sh2.5 trillion Lamu Port South-Sudan Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) Corridor Project.
