The Northern Corridor member States are working to open up more transit routes within East Africa to ease traffic through the Malaba and Busia border stations.

In a joint communique of the 34th meeting of the Council of Ministers last week, the partners said they are eyeing to open up a number of routes including transit points through Lwakhakha (Kenya-Uganda border), Nadapal (Kenya-South Sudan border), and Todonyang (Kenya-Uganda-Ethiopia border) to increase cargo haulage and reduce the backlog at border points.
