Customers using the Madaraka Express Freight Service from Mombasa to Naivasha will enjoy a stimulus tariff for the next 90 days.
This is to cushion them from the ravages of Covid-19.
“We have introduced a subsidized tariff which will be in place for the
next three months to help cushion the burden of the customers due to the
current economic situation. This subsidized tariff will be in place for
90 days,” said Kenya Railways Managing Director Philip Mainga.
Mr Mainga also said that in the past few weeks, a steady increase in
cargo uptake by the Madaraka Express Freight Service has been witnessed
as there was an increased uptake of customers transporting their cargo
with Railway line.
He attributed this to a sustained enactment of measures to streamline
the processes in order to make the service more efficient by the key
players in the freight transportation business via the Standard Gauge
Railway line, mainly Kenya Railways, Kenya Ports Authority, Kenya Bureau
of Standards and Kenya Revenue Authority.
The Madaraka Express Freight Service pick up phase has witnessed over 30,000 tonnes transported between Mombasa and Naivasha.
