The Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (Kephis) has suspended the high cargo inspection fees it introduced at the Mombasa port from March 1, 2025, yielding to pressure from the Council of Governors (CoG) and traders.
Kephis had set the inspection fees at Sh2,000 and Sh500 for a 20-foot and 40-foot container respectively, a change that impacted traders’ cost of doing business.
