Efficiency at the port may be compromised with many State agencies operating at the facility.
Return of more State agencies to the port raises concerns of cargo clearance delays.
Stakeholders have warned that the return of multiple government entities at the port is reversing efficiency gains by slowing cargo clearance.
Fresh fears of cargo clearance delays have gripped stakeholders at the Mombasa port after more State agencies returned to the gateway, reversing gains of a presidential directive that only key cargo-related firms be allowed to operate there.
The Kenya Nuclear Regulatory Authority (KNRA) has returned to the port, joining the growing list of agencies that were previously driven out to help improve efficiency but have since slipped back, including the National Environment Management Authority, the Kenya Plant Health Inspection Services (Kephis), and the Anti-Counterfeits Authority.
