(Dr.) Wilberforce Oundo requested for a Statement on 17th July 2021 regarding the status of the Kenya Transport and Logistics Network (KTLN). I beg to reply as follows: The first part of the Request is about the legal status on the establishment of the Kenya Transport and Logistics Network, and the National Treasury responds as follows: The KTLN was established on 7th August 2020 by His Excellency the President vide Executive Order No.5 titled “The Framework for Management, Coordination and Integration of Public Ports, Railway and Pipeline Services.” The Order was issued in response to the need to meet a number of national objectives and priorities, amongst them the shared aspirations as encapsulated in Vision 2030 of transforming Kenya into a newly industrialized middle-income country providing a high quality of life to all its citizens by 2030 in a clean and secure environment; the solemn duty of the State to guarantee access to public good and facilitate the enjoyment of socio-economic rights; the Big Four Agenda focus on job creation and spurring of economic growth through manufacturing; the fostering of national competitiveness in the arenas of trade and ease of doing business; the compelling urgency for enhancing efficiency and coordination between related Government Agencies, eliminating duplication and insulating against the rising costs of business; the need to re-orient Ministries and State Departments towards policy direction and regulatory framework while also vesting commercial State-owned enterprises under the National Treasury, and the need to secure the maximum contribution to job creation and economic development by State owned enterprises, assets and parastatals in line with the recommendations of the Presidential Taskforce on Parastatal Reforms."
