The week began with news that Lamu fishermen would finally receive compensation from the State. The fishermen first went to court in 2012, aggrieved by how the State was implementing the Lamu Port project.
More than 80 per cent of the community in Lamu depend on fishing for their livelihood. Lamu Port will have 32 berths costing $5 billion (Sh530 billion).
The construction of the first three berths is ongoing at Manda Bay, with the third berth nearing completion and ready for launch in June 2021. Since the construction of the Lamu Port began, the community in Lamu has experienced untold suffering as a result.
