Economy & Politics Pipeline cuts fuel transport costs in fight with TanzaniaA pipeline: Mombasa is facing increased competition from neighbouring Tanzania. FILE PHOTO | NMGKenya Pipeline Company Limited (KPC) has cut the cost of transporting fuel to neighbouring countries by nearly a third in a bid to win back business lost to Tanzania. This will see the importers save about Sh1.52 per litre for fuel transported on the pipeline and picked in Kisumu or Eldoret for neighbouring countries. The Kenya Transporters Association earlier said importers from regional countries were opting to route shipments through Tanzania because its fuel were untainted. In addition to the new port, the country is planning a $7.6-billion railway connecting Dar es Salaam to Burundi, Rwanda, Congo and Uganda.
