President William Ruto on Thursday launched the construction of Sh2.6 billion Shimoni Port as he outlined his plan to tap the multi-billion-shilling marine fisheries in the Indian Ocean.

He also directed that the tender for the construction of a Sh1 billion fish hatchery be re-awarded to another contractor following rising complaints of delays against the one on the site.
