Thousands of businesses face a shortage of supplies after more than three dozen ships cancelled arrivals at the port of Mombasa with the fate of 102 others remaining unknown following the outbreak of Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) infection.

The supply crunch is likely to lead to higher cost of goods for Kenyans, who are already bracing for an economic hit due to measures taken to limit the spread of the disease locally.
