Operations at the Mombasa Port Authority were paralysed yesterday after more than 5,000 employees downed their tools over a new time management biometric system they say has caused salary irregularities.

Yesterday, the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) admitted the system is facing “teething problems” and that it is being resolved.
