Lamu development projects will take off despite terror attacks

Kenya: The Lamu Port project will take off despite recent attacks at Mpeketoni and its environs and previous incidences of insecurity that have hit the coastal region of Kenya.

Pundits point out that although all the incidents happened within the relative close proximity of the Lamu Port South Sudan, Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor route and general area, the resolve of unfazed ‘battle hardened’ consortium of international investors will ensure they will go ahead with the $3.29 billion (Sh280 billion) region’s dream project regardless of perceived increased risks and insurance costs, thanks to their unwavering commitment to the region’s  flagship high profile joint undertaking in Eastern Africa.
