President Uhuru Kenyatta returns to the Coast today to commission the newly- refurbished and equipped Bandari Maritime Academy. 

Uhuru's visit comes amidst opposition by some leaders to a Government plan to hand over the running of the Sh30 billion Second Container Terminal to the Kenya National Shipping which is partly owned by a Swiss registered Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC).
