Kenyan infrastructure and land development initiatives

Overview

President William Ruto has initiated several large-scale development and infrastructure projects across the Kenyan Coast. In Mombasa, the government announced plans to expand the Port of Mombasa, aiming to increase capacity from 2.5 million TEUs to 4.5 million TEUs through the modernization of several berths. This expansion is accompanied by the planned construction of the Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone.

In addition to maritime and industrial infrastructure, the administration is focusing on land rights and local utilities. During a development tour, the President issued 5,000 title deeds to residents in various Mombasa settlement schemes as part of a national programme to issue 500,000 land ownership documents. This initiative seeks to address historical land injustices and enable residents to use land as collateral for financing.

In Kilifi County, the government is prioritizing electricity connectivity and road construction, with plans to connect 24,000 homes to the power grid and construct the 25-kilometre Kakajuni-Matano Manne road.
