Uganda Depot at Mombasa
The Governmnent will establish an inland port depot at Mombasa
for storage of Ugandan goods.
The facility, to be set up on a five acre plot owned by the Uganda
Government at Makupa Cause Way, near the port, is aimed at reducing
the cost of storage of Uganda’s imports as well as speeding
up the clearing process.
There have been complaints by Ugandan business people regarding
the delays they experience in clearing their goods at the port.
This proposal is an outcome of discussions between Ugandan and
Kenyan officials on how to speed up clearance of Ugandan imports
at the Port of Mombasa in April 2005.
Uganda’s delegation was led by Amb. Kangumba Adyeri, Head
of the Commercial and Consular Section at this Mission, and included
officials from the Ministry of Finance; Tourism, Trade and Industry;
Uganda Revenue Authority; and the Honorary Consul of Uganda in Mombasa,
Mr. Evans Asiimwe.
