Gathungu says Lapsset link delays stall Lamu port gains
Auditor General Nancy Gathungu making a presentation during the 8th Public Finance Management (PFM) Conference on November 5, 2025, at the Grand Royal Swiss Hotel, Kisumu.
Delays in development of key transport links under the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset ) corridor have left completed facilities at the Lamu Port underutilised, denying the public the expected economic benefits from one of Kenya’s flagship infrastructure projects.
Latest audit disclosures by Auditor General Nancy Gathungu show that while the first three berths at the port are complete, cargo evacuation remains constrained by stalled or unstarted road projects linking the corridor to the hinterland.
