Over the past 15 years, a number of high-impact economic projects and plans were launched, then partially implemented or abandoned by successive governments, mostly due to development re-prioritisation.
In nearly all cases, the country has missed or delayed economic opportunities promised by the projects. There was the multi-component Mwai Kibaki legacy LAPSSET corridor project of which the Jubilee government prioritised the implementation of three berths of Lamu Port. The Kenya Kwanza administration's efforts to complete the highway initially from Lamu to Garissa are handicapped by insecurity.
