The State has closed compensation hearings with affected landowners in Mombasa, moving closer to the start of the construction of the Japanese Yen 47. 8 billion (Sh38.82 billion at current exchange rates) Mombasa Gate Bridge.
The National Land Commission (NLC) said last week in a notice the hearings were to close on June 19 as the State moves to pay off Kenyans and acquire an estimated 206 plots of land for the project.
