The Kenya Ports Authority has denied claims there are plans to privatize the Mombasa port. In a statement, Wednesday, the KPA said Berths 4 and 7 are not under private ownership as alleged by Dock Workers Union. DWU general secretary Simon Sang and chairman Mohammed Sheria on Sunday claimed four Mombasa families are working with the KPA management to take over the Mombasa port. He claimed the latest family to be roped into the deal has been awarded a cargo verification tender through proxies. “The outsourcing is in tandem with the management‘s corporate strategy of outsourcing non-core services,” said KPA.
