Democratic Party of Kenya leader Justin Muturi addressing residents of Changamwe, Mombasa County on October 9, 2026./HANDOUTUkombozi Alliance has called for transparency over reported plans involving Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) assets.
The alliance is questioning how investments said to have cost taxpayers approximately Sh150 billion over 15 years could reportedly be valued at Sh10 billion.
Democratic Party of Kenya leader Justin Muturi made the remarks while addressing residents of Changamwe, Mombasa County, where he urged government to explain the reported valuation and ensure public assets are protected.
Muturi said strategic infrastructure developed using taxpayers’ money should not be subjected to transactions that lack transparency or undermine the country’s economic interests.
“These are strategic national assets built with public resources, not political property to be disposed of without transparency or accountability,” Muturi said.

In a warning directed at potential investors and financial institutions, the alliance said transactions found to be unlawful or contrary to the public interest could face legal challenges.
“Our warning to investors, financial institutions and commercial interests across all world capitals is unequivocal: Any transaction found to have been fraudulent, unlawful, or deliberately structured to undermine Kenya’s public interest will face the full scrutiny of the law,” Muturi said.
He said a future Ukombozi government would pursue available legal avenues to review disputed transactions and seek their reversal where justified by the law.
Muturi also cautioned investors against assuming that political connections or a change of government would shield transactions from scrutiny.
He said deals surrounded by credible allegations of undervaluation should be subjected to independent investigations and legal challenges, with restitution pursued where wrongdoing is established.
The alliance maintained that its position was not a rejection of investment but a call for transparency, accountability and respect for the law in the management of public resources.
Muturi said decisions involving strategic infrastructure should protect Kenya’s economic sovereignty and ensure citizens benefit from nationally owned assets.
“Kenya is not for sale, public wealth is not a private bounty, and no deal is above the law,” he said.
The remarks add to the alliance’s calls for greater accountability in the management of strategic public assets.
