E-Merchants report that the increase in logistics costs has reduced the growth of the sector. The rising fuel costs in Nairobi, with its notoriously bad transport infrastructure, have not helped matters. The Kenyan government has, however, started a major project which will provide public transport across the city. Not in time for the present crisis but for improvement in the long term.
