Win as dock workers allowed to fix feesDock Workers Union members fight in Mombasa in 2017 after their annual general meeting aborted. The fees will be set by the Kenya Maritime Authority and Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). In a Kenya Gazette notice last Friday, CAK Director-General Wang’ombe Kariuki said that in capping the fees, they would be guided by the KPA Tariff Book. It is a landmark decision by an agency that has turned down requests by public secretaries, accountants, surveyors, and valuers to fix professional fees. While the competition law frowns on practices that distort or lessen competition, it, however, says that public good such as port services can override the need for competition.
