BECAUSE of increasing road haulage competition, East African Railways and Harbours claim that in the past 12 months they have lost £600,000 in freight revenue. On the Mombasa-Nairobi route alone, the diversion of liquid fuel haulage from rail to road has cost the railways £200,000.
The railways in Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika have an agreement to help in the development of the territories by giving preferential rates, but they have threatened that if the transfer of traffic, to the roads continues, aid will have to be withdrawn.
