Kenya’s status as the region’s logistics hub has again come under threat after Tanzania signed a deal with China to set up the bloc’s largest port and expand Dar es Salaam’s main airport.
The $11 billion Bagomoyo port will be bigger than the Dar es Salaam and Mombasa ports, tilting the scales of regional trade in favour of Tanzania.
