Uhuru will be commissioning the port, nine years since its construction begun. In a statement, the President’s Delivery Unit described the port as the president’s legacy-defining personal commitment, whose benefits will go beyond the sea. "Benefits of Lamu port go beyond the sea. Supporting infrastructure such as roads and enhanced security to and from the port are overhauling the economic ecosystem of Lamu County and surrounding regions," PDU said. The president will also inspect other ongoing government projects in Lamu.
