Mombasa port workers have opposed plans to hand over the running of second container terminal to the Kenya National Shipping Line. High-level discussions to hand over the running of the second container terminal at the Mombasa port to KNSL are being made between the Office of the President and the Transport ministry, the Star has learned. "This means they will likely hire a private company to run the container terminal," Sang explained. Hiring a private firm to run the second container terminal is tantamount to privatising it and it will mean significantly downsizing the workforce, according to Sang.
