Coast Leaders Demands Stake In Coastal Port

Coast leaders led by Mombasa Governor, Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir are demanding that the counties housing ports that are scheduled for privatization be offered a stake in said ports.

In a statement, the Governor explained that this move was aimed at ensuring that the people within those counties whose livelihoods depend on the ports benefit from their privatization.

Mombasa and Lamu ports, have been a bone of contention between coastal leaders and the government, with the leaders demanding full involvement in the entire privatization process.
