@Yobramos4Travellers plying the 113.5km Minjila-Mokowe road in Tana River and Lamu counties are upset about the amount of time wasted waiting for police escort. The police say it is more economical to escort six buses together than escort each bus on its own. Before reaching Minjila in Tana River county from Malindi in Kilifi county, passengers are made to alight for security checks at least thrice. The checks are between Malindi and Gongoni (Kilifi), at Sabaki River bridge (Kilifi), at Minjila (Lamu), then at Milihoi and Nyongoro in Lamu. Ali Bunu, a frequent traveller between Mombasa and Lamu, said sometimes they are forced to sleep at Gamba, when they miss the escort at a particular time.
