The Commissioner General of Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and the then Managing Director of Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) had issued a joint circular advising importers that all cargo imported through the Port of Mombasa and destined for upcountry destinations shall be transported by SGR only. This directive had a devastating effect on businesses in Mombasa and the rest of the Northern Corridor up to Nairobi. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Statement was referred to the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation, which after deliberations with stakeholders and the management of KPA and KRA both in Mombasa and Parliament, called for the revocation of the notice. The Committee directed that KPA and KRA allow cargo to be transported by road and rail. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Transport, Infrastructure, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
