The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) has initiated plans to lease some of its key assets as part of an ambitious plan by the State to revitalise the maritime industry through public-private partnerships (PPPs).
In what appears to be a change of heart on a proposal by the previous administration to hand ports to private investors, KPA managing director William Ruto on Monday invited bids for the operation and management of critical port facilities at the Mombasa and Lamu ports.
