Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Commissioner General Humphrey Wattanga and Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) Managing Director William Ruto have jointly reaffirmed the government’s commitment to enhance efficiency at the port of Mombasa.

The port is currently experiencing congestion and empty container depot capacity crisis. It has been facing congestion challenges since it received rising cargo volumes in the last quarter of last year leading to protests among stakeholders.
