Three news items last week touched on the Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia (Lapsset) corridor project. There was the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock launching a project to export livestock through Lamu Port.
There was also a temporary stoppage of ongoing Lapsset highway construction works in the vicinity of Lamu due to insecurity. In the same week, an investor announced a $5 million 2022 budget for the dormant Turkana oilfields project which will export oil via the Lapsset corridor.
