KEMFSED Mokowe ESIA, page 39; exact Mokowe fish landing site beside the existing jetty in Lamu County

Gesken Enterprises Ltd holds World Bank contract 1793320 for USD 1,851,739.07 at Mokowe in Lamu County. The December 2024 ESIA defines a land-reclamation and jetty workfront beside the existing jetty, yet no package-specific mobilisation or completion milestone is public.

The marine workfront is defined after award

World Bank contract 1793320 establishes Gesken, reference KE-MOMBE&MA-LM-2024-010-CW, the signing date and USD commitment. The tender and December 2024 ESIA define the exact Lamu County site, planned duration, land reclamation, jetty and shore-side systems. Package-specific mobilisation, downstream awards and acceptance remain unpublished.

Design detail exceeds delivery evidence

The ESIA assigns KSh 84,406,900 of its design-stage estimate to reclamation and jetty works, a commercial boundary distinct from the USD prime-award commitment. Tidal fill placement, shoreline control, small-vessel landing and wastewater integration could involve several specialist suppliers whose identities are still absent from public award data.

Evidence conclusion

Mokowe awaits verified mobilisation and acceptance

Mokowe is a confirmed award, not a confirmed marine mobilisation. The ESIA describes reclamation, jetty, processing, utilities and treatment systems and assumes 12 months from site handover, but it does not state when handover occurred. No public record establishes fill quantities, jetty installation, specialist subcontractors, completion, acceptance or operating handover.

Outstanding evidence

  • Site handover and marine mobilisation
  • Reclamation quantities and fill source
  • Jetty designer, fabricator and installer
  • Tidal access and shoreline controls
  • Wastewater and power-system commissioning
  • Completion, defects and operating certificates
