Mombasa Deputy Governor Francis Thoya has criticised President William Ruto for asserting that the Port of Mombasa is under concession, stating that there is no distinction between concession and privatisation.

Thoya expressed his concern that President Ruto should refrain from misleading Mombasa residents by using different terminology to convey the same intention, assuming that the people of Mombasa are gullible.
