Lamu Governor Issa Timamy said the wall would help prevent illegal immigrants from crossing into Kenya.

“I have been briefed about the plan and construction works will begin soon. We expect to have finished the project before the end of the year,” Mr Timamy told the public at Faza Social Hall in Lamu East Sub-County on Sunday.

The government has taken several measures to enhance security after 90 people died in two attacks in June and July last year. The government also slapped a dusk to dawn curfew in the region.
