The government has shrugged off concern raised by a section of shippers on the directive compelling upcountry and landlocked country importers to use the SGR saying it’s the only way of ensuring a smooth flow of cargo to Nairobi’s ICD for the benefit of all players in the sector. Kenya Ports Authority ( KPA ) has reduced its container handling charges to persuade disgruntled freighters to move their cargo through the standard gauge railway (SGR). ICD has cut tariffs for Sh10,506 and 40-foot local containers at the inland container depot ( SGR ) in Nairobi , as well as those moving goods to other countries. The government said using the Kenya Ports Authority is the only way to ensure a "smooth flow of cargo to Sh6,120 ’s ICD "
