The Sh1.7 billion compensation to the fishermen affected by construction of the Lamu port has been delayed after they demanded to be paid cash in full, going against the agreement that had been reached earlier.
Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) acting managing director Rashid Salim said the agency had agreed with the officials of the Beach Management Unit that 65 percent of the compensation would be in cash and 35 percent in form of equipment.
