 * • They claimed that the deal to hand over the ports was signed on March 1,
   2022 by Treasury CS Ukur Yatani.
 * • He claimed that the deal was signed in the guise of people attending the
   former Prime minister Raila Odinga's birthday in Mombasa.

Deputy President William Ruto-led Kenya Kwanza coalition now claims president
Uhuru Kenyatta secretly sold three ports to a Dubai-based firm, Dubai Port World
FZE.

In a statement read by ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, the alliance said Uhuru
illegally sold the ports of Mombasa, Lamu and Kisumu.

They claimed that the deal to hand over the ports was signed on March 1, 2022,
by Treasury CS Ukur Yatani.



"In a secret deal under the guise of an Economic Cooperation Agreement with the
United Arab Emirates, and which epitomises grand corruption; Uhuru has assented
to a rip-off that will see a foreign privately registered entity – Dubai Port
World FZE – take over these key national infrastructural assets," Mudavadi
stated.

The Star, however, could not independently verify the claims by Kenya Kwanza
leaders by the time of going to the press.

We commit to fact-check the claims in our subsequent reporting even as we wait
for evidence the Kenya Kwanza Alliance pledged to service us with. 

In his presentation, Mudavadi claimed that the deal was signed in a meeting
disguised as prime minister Raila Odinga's birthday party in Mombasa.

"This deal was mooted in a meeting in Mombasa disguised as Raila’s birthday
party attended by outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga and the
Governor of Mombasa Ali Hassan Joho among other state capture agents who are the
principal beneficiaries of the deal."

Kenya Kwanza added that in the deal, the Dubai-based company will oversee the
redevelopment of berths 11 to 14 and a special economic zone at the Mombasa
Port, equipping and operating the container terminal at the Port of Lamu and
development of a special economic zone next to the Port of Lamu.

Dubai Port World FZE will also take charge of the development and operation of
cold chains and logistic parks at both Kisumu and Naivasha ports.

They also demanded to know the process used to award the tender they termed as
'could be the biggest corruption scandal' the country has ever experienced.

"Kenyans want to know the details of the contract and whether it adheres to
procedures for the identification, selection, feasibility study, pre-tender
approval, tendering, negotiation, post-tender approval, monitoring and
evaluation of the projects as provided for under the PPPA," the statement said.

They also demanded to know why there was a lack of public participation,
violation of Article 227 of the Constitution and the Public Procurement and
Asset Disposal Act, 2015 and Non-involvement of Parliament.

Kenya Kwanza noted that counties were also not involved in the process, as well
as cabinet approval, and public interest was also not considered.
