(a) Why has the Government halted the licensing of the 14-seater matatus since January 2011? (b) Is the Minister aware that the directive is already negatively impacting on the livelihoods of over 60,000 young persons, who are directly employed in the sector? (c) Could the Minister consider rescinding the directive?"

"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Government introduced a policy to phase out all public service vehicles with a carrying capacity of below 25. The policy does not stop the already licenced 14 seater minivans from operating as public service vehicles on our roads. This policy was implemented through the Kenya Gazette Notice No.209 of 21st December, 2010 and the deadline for new licensing for vehicles within this category was 31st December, 2010. The vehicles of this category which were already registered as at 1st January, 2011 will continue to be licensed as long as they are road worthy. The decision was made after thorough evaluational measures necessary to decongest our roads and to bring order to the sector including improvement on passenger safety and conflict. This was further subjected to consultations with public service transport operators during a stakeholders’ conference that was held at the Bomas of Kenya on 19th October, 2010. During this conference, stakeholders made several proposals to the Government to improve order and safety on our roads and efficiency in the operation of road transport to the country. Among those proposals was concurrence of the need and the modalities to phase out low capacity public service vehicles if we have to reduce congestion on our roads especially within the city and the urban areas. (b) I am not aware that the directive is impacting negatively on the livelihoods of over 600,000 young persons who are directly employed in the sector. The phasing out of the public service vehicles---"
