Fishermen say KPA blocking Sh1.7bn Lamu Port payout

A group of fishermen has accused Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) of withholding Sh1.7 billion paid to them by the government to pave way for the construction of Lamu Port.

The 4,700 fishermen successfully sued the government in 2018, arguing that the construction of Lamu Port South Sudan Transport Corridor (Lappset) was implemented in violation of their rights.
