Busia border point has fallen behind the volumes, speed and compliance targets set by the Mombasa Port Community Charter, putting the border town on the spot as industry players look to increase efficiency on the northern corridor.

According to the Northern Corridor Performance Dashboard report, a tool developed by industry players to monitor efficiency on the transnational route, Busia not only had the least traffic in the first quarter but was also slowest in clearing cargo. The border post also had the lowest level of weight compliance.
