"content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order N.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the status of upgrade of the Likoni Ferry Channel. Hon. Deputy Speaker, more than 300,000 people use the Likoni channel on a daily basis, which links Mombasa Island to Kwale County in the South Coast. In 2020, the Government commenced construction of the Mtongwe ramp with a view of decongesting the Likoni channel. Sadly, the construction is yet to be completed, worsening the congestion at the Likoni channel. In addition, the ferries in the Likoni channel keep developing mechanical failures. For instance, on 25th April 2025, a ferry developed mechanical failure and stalled while on transit, causing fear amongst the passengers. On 17th April 2025, the Kenya Ferry Services only had two ferries in operation following a breakdown of two other ferries. This caused congestion in the area and adversely affected the residents. The incidents raise concerns on the suitability of the vessels and the need for urgent attention to ensure the safety and security of the residents and prevent such occurrences in the future. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the following: 1. Measures put in place by the Government to ensure safety and efficiency of ferry services, including an update on the status of maintenance and procurement plans for new ferries and upgrade of the existing vessels. 2. Status of the construction of Mtongwe ramp in Likoni Constituency. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
