Kenya transporters will increase cost of transporting cargo from the port of Mombasa to other destinations by $100 to $200, depending on the cargo and destination, in response to the surge in fuel prices announced this month.

Kenya Transporters Association (KTA) announced that truck owners were only responding to the action by the government, which had ignored their concerns.
