State, landowners reach agreement on Lamu Port

Over 148 landowners who had gone to court to have the construction of the Lamu Port stopped were to start being paid last week, paving way for the commencement of the construction of the first three berths of the Sh2 trillion project.

The National Land Commission, which was brokering the deal between the landowners and the government, said an amount of Sh 365 million will be paid to the landowners.
