Kenya has always been a trading nation. From the dhow routes of the coast to the modern container ships in Mombasa, we have long understood a simple truth: when goods move smoothly, economies grow. When they do not, everyone pays - businesses, consumers, and government alike.
For Kenya to compete, regionally, under the EAC and Comesa, and at continental level under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), transport projects should be developed with the multimodal advantage in mind. This is the ability to move cargo using two or more modes of transport- sea, rail, road, and air - under one coordinated logistics chain.
