According to the former Prime Minister, the government’s failure to be open about its plans and involve all stakeholders raises suspicion that the port has been sold to a private investor.
Last week President Ruto said the government had no plans to sell off the two ports through privatisation and was only working on a concession arrangement to improve their efficiency and profitability.

Meanwhile, as Raila was acting out his watchdog role in Mombasa, President Ruto was inaugurating work on important roads and bridges in Raila’s home Constituency of Bondo.
