In ensuring efficiency of the local ports, he hinted on partnerships with the private sector to increase both cargo and revenue collections while both parties benefit from the business.
“TPA alone cannot do everything. The government has committed huge investment but the performance of the ports has not yet reached the potential levels. I believe in partnering with the private sector we will be able to go further,” said Mr Mbossa.
