William Ruto's order on port takes effect, impact not yet felt

Kenya Railways and Kenya Ports Authority officials offload cargo from the SGR train to the Meter Gauge Railway cargo train at the Inland Container Depot in Mai Mahiu Naivasha for onwards transportation to Malaba.

The Kenya Ports Authority has implemented President William Ruto's directive by allowing importers using the port of Mombasa to decide where to collect their cargo.

In a notice to shipping lines and their agents yesterday, KPA said importers were free to document the place of clearance of their cargo and choose the mode of transport.
