Kenya's Economic Challenges

Available for over a year

Vivienne Nunis reports from Kenya on a raft of challenges facing the country's economy. We hear from Mombasa's port on how the authorities are trying to tackle corruption and bottlenecks. And we put the issues to Mombasa's governor, Ali Hassan Joho. One of Kenya's main industries is tourism. The BBC's Joshua Thorpe reports on how a spate of deadly terror attacks has affected the tourism trade, and we hear from Binti Omar, tourism minister of Mombasa County what the government is trying to do to help. Plus the European Union official who will lead negotiations on Britain's exit from the bloc has indicated he will take a hard line, but told Britain to "keep calm and negotiate". We ask our regular economic commentator Roger Bootle of Capital Economics how difficult that will be. (Picture: A worker at Mombasa port. Picture credit: BBC.)
