Teacher with chanting "Al-badiri" with students

The Save Lamu group were forced to boycott yesterday’s launch of the Lamu Port after some members were warned against it. Those who did attempt to go had their vehicle stopped half way by security officers and forced to trek. This included MUHURI staff as well.
