The National Development Implementation and Technical Committee has expressed satisfaction with the current port operations in Mombasa. The committee, under the chairmanship of Interior PS Karanja Kibicho, toured the Port of Mombasa on Thursday. This comes after a section of port stakeholders accused government agencies of being responsible for the delays and congestion at the port. Currently, only about 1,100 containers are received at the Mombasa port a day. Although cargo volumes through the Mombasa port reduced by about 300-400 tonnes in overall throughput during the pandemic, cargo destined to DRC, Rwanda and South Sudan increased.
