Next month, a large ship operated by Mersk Shipping Line, will dock at Lamu Port, Macharia said. Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia on Tuesday joined Ethiopian Ambassador to Kenya Meles Alam and South Sudan’s Undersecretary in the Ministry of Transport Capt David Martin to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on LAPSSET, the CS remaining noncommittal on the commissioning of the project. “Lamu Port is a regional project that was launched by the three head of states of Kenya, Ethiopia and South Sudan in March 2012. As a country, we cannot go back and commission it on our own. We want the same head of states to be present during commissioning,” Macharia said, declining to give a date for the official opening. Ambassador Alam allayed fears Ethiopia, having signed a peace deal with Eritrea in 2018, might backtrack from the LAPSSET project. “However, our prese

Mourinho a major factor in Gedson Fernandes' Spurs loan switch

Image
Jose Mourinho was a major factor in Gedson Fernandes' decision to join Tottenham, the Benfica loanee has revealed. Fernandes moved to Spurs for an initial 18-month stint on Wednesday, becoming Mourinho's first signing for the London club. There is an option for the deal to be made permanent for a reported €50 million (£42.8m). For now, though, Portugal international Fernandes is relishing the prospect of working with compatriot Mourinho and playing in the Premier League for the first time. "All young players want to work with Jose Mourinho because he's one of the best – all of us as players want to stay near the best, so it's fantastic to work with him," the 21-year-old told Tottenham's official website. "The Premier League is a different competition – every player in the world wants to play in the Premier League. For me, it's one more motivation because I always dreamed of playing in this league and now let's make my dream come true. "

Messi says 'special duel' with Ronaldo will 'remain forever' in people's minds

Image
Lionel Messi believes the "special duel" between him and Cristiano Ronaldo when the pair were on opposite sides of the Clasico rivalry will leave a lasting impression. The Barcelona superstar went head-to-head with Ronaldo for almost a decade in LaLiga, where the two scored at an astonishing rate and practically assumed shared custody of the Ballon d'Or. Debate rages over who the world's best player is, but a shortlist of two is almost universally accepted – it is either Messi or Ronaldo. The Portugal forward has since departed for Juventus, but Messi ​– who won a record sixth Ballon d'Or in December – has fond memories of their long-running Spanish saga. "The matches against Real always mean a lot, but when Cristiano was there they became much more special," said Messi. "But it's a time that has passed now, that we have experienced. Now, we have to look ahead to the future. "It was a special duel and it will remain [in people's minds

None of you will leave your houses that day – Atwoli to Khalwale’s team over anti-BBI meeting

Image
Cotu Secretary General Francis Atwoli on Wednesday moved to end rising anxiety ahead of the Western region's Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) meeting to be held in Kakamega on Saturday January 18. The meeting to be held at the famous Bukhungu Stadium has raised political temperatures in the area as some of the area politicians insisted that the meeting had been organised by Atwoli for purposes of appointing Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya as the Luhya kingpin. However, the Cotu boss on Wednesday said the meeting was purely to rally the Luhya nation behind the BBI process and ensure that its interests are well protected. "The Luhya nation must be there in the BBI process. If there will be positions, we will be there and our interests must be protected. Millions of Luhyas will be attending the meeting either physically or following it on live TV." Atwoli dismissed a parallel meeting organised by Kakamega leaders who are skeptical of the BBI meeting.
