Lamu port project gets green light

http://www.ntv.co.ke
The ministry of fisheries has given a clean bill of health to the Lamu port project saying it will have minimal negative impact on the countrys marine environment. Assistant minister for fisheries Abu Chiaba further denies that the rights of the local community were neglected in acquiring the land on which the port will be constructed. A regional marine environment protection conference meeting at the UN headquarters in Nairobi wants environmental concerns to be fully addressed in construction of the countrys second port.

@TheBwanaali what are the affects

[kellyshekale]

sawa kabisa...they need them..

[TheBwanaali]

the project will only affect the local but no benefit at all, people should first look at the master plan then comment on it as I have seen it there is alot of denger in this project from enviromental to safety issue, it so unfortunate to the one of the area Mp saying there will be alot of benefits. he should know the affects are more that the benefits

[karuitha]

am sure majimbo calls will increase from the coastal idlers

[benadede]

As long as the project is viable, the tendering process is transparent and the long term benefits are for the country rather than a tiny clique, then I am for it.

[wanzueni]

UNEP should never talk on kenyas environment matters they should just keep on  their lavish lifrestyles in gingiri, why lamu do they know Nairobi river ?
