The Kenya Ports Authority management is worried about output and profits after many workers were locked out by the prohibition of movement among Mombasa, Kilifi and Kwale counties. However, the cessation of movement order, which took effect on Wednesday at 7pm, has locked out at least 250 port workers who live in Mazeras and Mtwapa in Kilifi county and Ng’ombeni in Kwale county. “Only those needed specifically will be granted permission. Meanwhile, residents of Kwale who work in Mombasa and Kilifi counties fear they might lose their jobs. Speaking in Ukunda, Kwale county, Obiayo said the government should at least make some adjustments and let workers pass but with some restrictions.
