Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) has officially given out cash compensation to the Lamu fisherfolks following Board Chairman, Honourable Dalu Tayari officially launching the signing of the agreement forms for the final stage of the payment process.
The Chairman assured the 4,734 fisherfolks that every qualified person or family in the validated list will be compensated within the existing legal guidelines.
“We are only handling the cash compensation phase which constitutes 65 % of the total Sh 1.76 B cash compensation. Immediately after this phase, I have asked the Task Force to plan for stakeholder consultations and utilization of the set aside 35 % for sustainability,” he said.
Hon. Tayari urged those involved to work round the clock and provide maximum support for successful completion of the exercise for the benefit of the fishing community.
