Dock workers oppose port's privatisation

Mombasa, Kenya: Port workers want Coast leaders to push for amendment of the Mombasa Port service charter to retain its status as a service port instead of transforming it into a landlord.

At the weekend, Dock Workers Union (DWU) met elected leaders from Mombasa County to lobby them to oppose the landlord status proposed in the charter launched by President Uhuru Kenyatta recently, saying it would cut back on employment.
