•This week, the new Uganda Consul General to Mombasa Ambassador Paul Mukumbya held business talks with KPA acting managing director Rashid Salim.
•The discussions included plans towards enhancing efficiency at the Port and the Northern Corridor.
Uganda has affirmed its continued use of the Port of Mombasa and commitment to enhancing infrastructure along the Northern Corridor, a boost to the Kenyan seaport.
While the landlocked country has the option to use neighbouring Dar es Salaam Port (Tanzania), through the region’s Central Corridor trade route, it has remained the biggest destination for transit cargo through Mombasa, which is connected to the hinterland via the Northern Corridor.
