The freight agents in the country have protested against the appointment of the Nairobi Freight Terminal and six foreign clearing and forwarding agents to handle South Sudan cargo.

Kenya International Freight and Warehousing Association (Kifwa) claimed yesterday the Sudanese government went against international practices that allow for free trade and asked it to rescind the directive.
