Cargo delivery from Mombasa port to be done 24 hours daily

By Joseph Olanyo of the Monitor

"It is now official. Cargo delivery from Mombasa Port and all border entry ports to the hinterland land locked countries will now be done 24 hrs seven days a week, a move expected to speed up cargo movement on the northern corridor route.

Police roadblocks that have been hampering free movement of goods on the lucrative sea route have also been reduced from 47 to 15, while trucks with four axle loads have been banned on Kenyan roads. The decision arrived at after a meeting between Kenyan President Mr Mwai Kibaki, ministers and permanent secretaries in various trade ministries on August 11, takes immediate effect."
