Columnists Lamu port a game-changer for north eastern Kenya economyPresident Uhuru Kenyatta during the official launch of the Lamu Port on May 20, 2021. I celebrate when the first berth of the Lamu Port began operating because it amounts to an investment in posterity. Lamu Port is coming in the scene at a time when its economic viability is in question. Key roads linking Lamu Port to the hinterland are yet to be completed. We must not forget that the plan was that we were to build an 821 kilometre pipeline transporting crude from Lokichar to Lamu Port.
