Joho firm takes over lucrative Nairobi SGR cargo terminal
Autoports Freight Terminals Ltd receives Kenya Railways Corporation exclusive right to use of the Nairobi Freight Terminals.

A private company linked to the family of Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho is set to finally take over operations of a taxpayers’-funded inland cargo terminal in Nairobi, in a controversial deal that has triggered protests from competing logistics firms.
Autoports also secured a preferential deal to transport cargo from Mombasa to Nairobi over a 10-year period at up to 80 per cent discount. This is against the maximum volume discount of 10 per cent allowed in the corporation’s tariff book.
The board also agreed to lease to Autoports 26 acres out of the total 36 acres at the NFT for a period of 45 years as from December 1, 2018, subject to the logistics company paying a stand premium of Sh78 million, exclusive annual rent of Sh19.5 million, an application fee of Sh5,000, pegging fees of Sh50,000, three months’ security deposit of Sh4.88 million and administrative charges of Sh100,000; all totalling Sh103 million.
The exclusive deal raised eyebrows, attracting the attention of investigative agencies considering the strategic location of the public facility.
