Four Foreign Embassies have criticised the privatisation deal of the second Container terminal at the Port of Mombasa.

In a letter dated June 4, and addressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and that of Transport, the Embassies of Denmark, France, Japan and the British High Commission say the ongoing privatisation process grants operation of the container terminal to a single operator without any competition, and lacks transparency.
