LAPSSET

Building a Transformative and Game Changer Infrastructure for a Seamless Connected Africa

[LAPSSET @lapsset]

As a key infrastructure investment under the #LAPSSETCorridor Program, the project is expected to stimulate trade, attract investment, create employment opportunities, and unlock the immense economic potential of Northern Kenya and the wider region.

@DGLAPSSET joined H.E. President William Ruto in inspecting the progress of the 257-kilometre Lamu–Ijara–Garissa Road, a critical component of the 453-kilometre @LAPSSETCorridorDevelopment Project, during the President's development tour of Wajir and Garissa counties.

The KSh17.9 billion road project, which is expected to be completed early next year, will enhance connectivity between #LamuPort and Northern Kenya, strengthen regional integration, improve security, and serve as a strategic evacuation route for #LamuPort.

The renewed momentum around Turkana oil validates the long-term strategic importance of the #LAPSSETCorridor. With large-scale oil production such as Kenya’s current overall target of over 500 million barrels and South Sudan’s about 100,000 barrels a day, an integrated Transport system remains central to export competitiveness, industrial growth, and Regional Trade Integration.

With almost 4 million visitors in national parks alone and an overall growth of 6.2% in 2025, the Tourism sector has remained a key contributor to Kenya’s GDP. This is why the Master-planned resort cities are a key pillar of the LAPSSET vision. Planned for Lamu(Mokowe), Isiolo(Kipsing gap), and the Lake Turkana region(Kalokol), these cities are designed to stimulate tourism, attract investment and turn the areas into tourism growth hubs.

We join all the Muslim faithful in Kenya and across the world in celebrating Eid al-Adha, a moment of reflection, sacrifice, and compassion. May this occasion bring peace, unity, and renewed hope to all.

Globally, major Trade Corridors often take 10–30 years before full economic returns become visible because ports depend on wider ecosystems of trade, industry, logistics, and regional integration. #LAPSSETCorridor holds a strong strategic potential, performing well compared to similar projects around the world. With financial activation, a challenge many projects face as they go along, it is gradually emerging and meeting the region’s needs, standing out as the long -term Economic Transformer.

The transport sector notably increases travel times along some of #LAPSSETCorridor routes, showing the great impact and transformation infrastructure brings. From connecting towns to improved security and increased businesses, transformation is constantly taking place.

[Kenya Ports Authority @Kenya_Ports]

The Ports of Mombasa and Lamu are increasingly attracting global shipping lines, driven by improved operational efficiency and sound business strategy that continues to position the facilities as logistics hubs in the region.

Recently a delegation from the United Arabs Emirates based shipping line Global Feeder Shipping , visited the Port of Mombasa for engagements to strengthen bilateral relations with Kenya Ports Authority in the logistics and Maritime sectors.

KPA Chief Executive Officer Capt. William Ruto in the discussions with Executives of the shipping line said that the Authority remains committed to sustained investments in port expansion programs aimed at enhancing competitiveness and positioning the ports as the preferred gateway for global trade.

Vice President for Business Development and Projects at Global Feeder Shipping, Mr. Waqar Ahmed Khan reiterated his company’s desire to collaborate with KPA in exploring areas of cooperation.

He highlighted the shipping line’s vast connectivity, as a key opportunity area, noting its potential to improve cargo movement efficiency across the regional and international markets.

Through the planned Fibre optics and smart logistics, #LAPSSETCorridor will evolve into a fully connected Economic Corridor powering faster, smarter and more efficient trade across Eastern Africa. Smart systems could enable:

- Real-time cargo tracking,
- Faster customs clearance,
- AI-assisted logistics,
- Smart port operations,
- And seamless coordination between road, rail, air and sea transport.

The Fibre connectivity could also unlock opportunities for data centers, smart industrial zones, digital commerce and innovation hubs across the Corridor.

Did you know?
The #LamuPort has infrastructure for offshore power, awaiting power activation, as per the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Global standard. With key long-term competitive attributes, this places the #LAPSSET as a next-generation smart logistics Corridor, meeting regional and Global standards and needs.

A Billion shilling Frontier and a Multiplier
Northern Kenya, the underdeveloped region is a B-shilling frontier, that will spiral Kenya’s economy upwards when empowered through key infrastructure.

Consider this: Livestock economy contributes about 12% to Kenya’s GDP, and about 70% of Kenya’s livestock is found in Northern Kenya.

Kenyan exports? Roughly 500 tonnes of meat weekly.

The Turkana Wind Power is supplying about 10% of Kenya’s electricity, and the county is also rich in millions of Oil barrels to be extracted by end of 2026.

From local to cross-border commerce and global trade, Northern Kenya is not waiting for economic activity to begin. Trade is already happening, and #LAPSSET is the multiplier that will implement up to 10% increase to Kenya's GDP.

The roads we build today carry the dreams of tomorrow. Every step forward in the #LAPSSET Corridor brings us closer to a more connected Kenya.
We build with Purpose, Pride, and Hope.
The best is yet to come!
