Slightly over a month ago, whilst presiding over the Port Reforms Working Group Consultative Forum at the Port of Mombasa, President William Ruto reiterated the government's goal to transform Kenyan ports to be globally competitive.

"The productivity of the Port of Mombasa is directly linked to the state of our economy, improving efficiency will help us create jobs, boost export volumes and stimulate economic growth," he said.
