The government of Kenya’s role in enhancing supply chain logistics is not about piecemeal reforms but about orchestrating a creative and comprehensive transformation. By building a Digital Trade Highway, investing in smart, multi-modal infrastructure, cultivating a highly skilled workforce, and leading regional harmonization, Kenya can elevate its logistics sector from a regional player to a continental leader. This visionary approach would not only drive economic growth and job creation but also enable Kenyan businesses to compete more effectively on the global stage, solidifying the nation’s status as the commercial heart of East Africa.
