Two rival groups have lined up separate meetings today to discuss the Government’s plan to lease a section of Mombasa Port to State-owned Kenya National Shipping Line (KNSL).

As top Government officials brief Coast elected leaders on the deal at Nyali Beach Hotel, a section of the Dock Workers Union (DWU) opposed to the move will be at the Mombasa Women Hall.
