Opposition chief Raila Odinga has supported President William Ruto's plan to concession key services at the ports of Mombasa and Lamu despite increasing resistance from Coast leaders in his political party.

The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya leader said on Monday in Mombasa that concession of services at the ports was the best global practice to attract private capital for expansion and modernisation to enhance efficiency.
