The Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) has directed the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) Managing Director, Captain William Ruto, to make information about the privatisation process of the Mombasa and Lamu ports available to the public.
In a notice issued on Thursday, February 20, the Ombudsman urged KPA to disclose the information within the next 21 days. "The Commission has ordered the Managing Director, Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), to facilitate access to information/documents relating to the privatisation of Mombasa," the notice read.
According to the Commission, this was necessitated by a report from two representatives of a human rights organisation who lamented that they could not access the information even though it was supposed to be public knowledge.
