Hopes for Kenya's Lamu port

World Business Report

Available for over a year

We hear how the redevelopment of Kenya's Lamu port could impact the country's economy. The BBC's Vivienne Nunis takes a tour of the facility with Dolly Okonga of the Kenya Ports Authority. And we get wider economic context from Edward Kusewa, who is an economist based in Nairobi, and Elizabeth Kivuva, business journalist with Kenyan news site The Nation. Plus, we talk to Famao Shukry about a special kind of sea turtle that can be found in the area. (Picture: A container ship at Lamu port. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
