The story covered on the Handy Shipping Guide News Page today outlines various allegations regarding corruption in and around the Port of Mombasa.
What is even more worrying are the hints carried in other media sources that elements within Kenya may be in contact with Somali pirate groups who now routinely attack unguarded ships off the East African coast.
Here follows the full series of Videos made by the Kenya Television network which have caused the latest furore.
There is no doubt that the Kenya Revenue Authority has taken substantial steps toward cleaning up the port evidenced by increased revenue levels.
What is plain from the tapes is that they may well have some way to go yet.
We present the report shown without taking sides.
There is no dispute that revenues for the Kenyan Authorities have increased massively since the inception of the Kenyan Revenue Authority and it is in the media's interests to produce sensational programme.
KTN say they have been threatened with legal action over the films.
Up to now no action seems to have been taken.
Feel free to post your comments below.
Nice report.. appreciate the research
