Name:Syanda Josiah M. Institution: KEPHIS Title: Regional Manager Mombasa Region Email Contact: jsyanda@kephis.org • Session 3: Import Control and Quarantine Regulations
Outline • Introduction • The problem • Experimental Design • Methodology • Findings • Conclusion and recommedations
The Problem • Low levels of detecting consignments of Phytosanitary concern at Mombasa sea port
Contributing factors • Creation of Container Freight Stations (CFS) to decongest the Port. • Port processes - Containers are taken to the CFS before regulatory process is completed • Distances between CFS - There are 18 CFS within 25 Km radius • Low staff levels • Lack of impending arrival consignment data • Other government Agency procedures
Container Freight stations (CFSs) To Nairobi KISAUNI CHANGAMWE Airport ISLAND Berths KEPHIS MSA LIKONI
Data collection and analysis Vessel Name Bill of Lading Container Number Importing Company Commodity Container Freight Station Quantity imported
Total consignments February 2018 – 144 Total consignments February 2017 - 76 Data Analysis- Number of consignments
Total imports recorded February 2018 - 40,457 MT Total imports recorded February 2017 - 10,535.75 MT Data Analysis- quantity imported in February
Total imports Service Charge February 2018 - 1,281,717 Total imports Service Charge February 2017 - 526,788 Service Charge KES
Conclusion There is a direct relationship between availability of consignment information and levels of detecting consignments of phytosanitary concerns Availability of consignment information to NPPO can help in improvement of inspection system Availability and access to consignment information can help NPPO to seal revenue leakages
Recommendation NPPO should have a method of obtaining import consignment information before its arrival Interagency collaboration for key government agencies (The primary import data owners) Where there are systems in place, system integration is recommended to reduce human interventions
