Government of Kenya allocated Uganda 20 hectares of land to build an inland container port at Naivasha.
This ICD was aimed at bringing Mombasa port closer to Uganda as Kenya’s standard gauge railway will be used to bring the containers from Mombasa port to Naivasha where they will be cleared from by Ugandan traders.
