Kenya: Plan to boost Eldoret airport exports
The counties in the plan include Uasin Gishu, Nandi, West Pokot, Trans Nzoia, Turkana, Bungoma and Elgeyo Marakwet.
The governors said the airport is underutilized and now plan to have at least two cargo flights weekly to export farm produce from the counties.
