The Port is a key asset to the Govt, people of Msa ( through employment/ service industry) and wheeler dealers. Alot of business both legal and illegal goes on there, at some point the new container terminal currently under construction may be privatized.Just keep watching ,they are politicians....

I think some sort of quasi-privatisation is urgently required. Look what happened to RVR. I hope that's not how the port ends up.

KQ, really??

fanya eshima kijana whom are u calling Lazy???...is this what ur mum and dad taught u to do in the public???? Chunga ulimi yako chafu ... U R insulting the whole of the coast!!! what a stinkn behaviour u have....

Yes KQ. Donot look at KQ in respect to recent staff lay offs but compared to when it was run by govtment and how it transformed in private hands.

Example. It is far much more valued due to its growth in private hands. It has much more employees. More young pilots. Doing more routes. It has contributed more to make JKIA as hub, made more profits than loses. It has contributed to the exchequer more than milking it. etc etc

Sometimes you just need to cut an paste. Singapore's port is a hub port where ships from all over the world go there to offload there cargo to other ships. Its a shipping hub and its in private hands. Business there is booming.

This qualifies as hate speech!!

But the coastals...I think they are justified in wanting one of their own to head KPA.

It is the case with KCC. The bosses there have been from milk producing regions

Privatization,what is it supposed to achieve? Its a strategic asset.Privatization might also bring corruption scandals and issues of wealth being shifted to certain tribal groups even if thats not the case.But let's be honest the inefficiency and corruption at the ports has made some individuals very rich and powerful and no matter what happens they will still attempt to maintain that position!
