Security is tight at the Port of Mombasa where dock workers opposed to the planned privatization of the port and retrenchment of workers have gone on strike. Dock workers union Secretary General Simon Sang says they will continue with the strike which has paralyzed operations at the port until their grievances are addressed.
Meanwhile Ports Authority MD Gichiri Ndua maintains the government has suspended plans to privatize the port. Ndua has also refuted claims that they are planning to lay off several workers.
