In Kenya, the Gilgil Road has been mentioned by several Members. When this road is complete, we shall do away with the weighbridges at Mlolongo, Mariakani, Gilgil and others. This is upon the availability of funds. At the Northern Corridor, we intend to have only two weighbridges once the Rironi-Mau Summit-Malaba Road is complete. On the harmonisation of legal frameworks, taxation and processes, one Member has demonstrated how we do not charge parking fees in Kenya while it is charged in Uganda.
