Kenya is set to invite private investors to bid for construction of 29 more berths along the Indian Ocean coastline as part of the Sh500 billion Lamu port, the largest in the region.
The State is already building the first three berths at a cost of Sh48 billion funded by taxpayers, with the first berth set for completion by December. The Lamu Port will have 32 berths upon completion, 29 of which will be undertaken by private investors.
