Northern Kenya leaders want residents affected by the Lapsset project to be compensated promptly. Lagdera MP Mohamed Hire said in Garissa town that the project is shrouded in “a lot of secrecy”. Inter-regional standard gauge rail lines will run from Lamu to Isiolo, Isiolo to Juba (South Sudan), Isiolo to Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), and Nairobi to Isiolo. Inter-regional highways will be from Lamu to Isiolo, Isiolo to Juba (South Sudan), Isiolo to Addis Ababa, and Lamu to Garsen. “This Lapsset project will bring a lot of problems if not looked at very keenly,” he said.
