Interesting. Though subsidies don't end up well, it will be interesting to see the unintended consequences for KRA and taxes.

It not really subsidy if you consider RDL (Railway Development Levy) that every importer is charged is a lot of money - so I don't see any problem if gok was to subsdidy this - the economy will benefit because you can imagine savings of nearly 50-80K for 1m containers - is nearly 50-80B annually.
