Before March 2017, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) ensured that transit cargo trucks were escorted by patrol vehicles to their final destinations. 

However, today, thanks to the Regional Electronic Cargo Tracking System (RECTS), cargo trucks  are now tracked in real time from the point of exit at the Mombasa Port up to the final destination.
