    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing regarding the breakdown of ferries at the Likoni Channel in Mombasa County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the number of ferries currently operating on the Likoni Channel, detailing their operational status, specifying the frequency of their breakdowns and provide reasons for these incidents, focusing on the recent breakdown that occurred on Saturday, 10th February, 2024. (2) Explain the maintenance and repair protocols in place by the Kenya Ferry Services (KFS), tabling a report of the latest vessel inspections detailing the intervals at which these inspections and maintenance activities are conducted and by whom. (3) Clarify why vessels known to have mechanical issues are still cleared to operate, thus jeopardizing the lives of hundreds of passengers who rely on this crossing daily, stating the criteria used for deeming a vessel fit for operations and any oversight mechanisms in place. (4) State measures in place by the KFS to minimise downtime and enhance the safety and well-being of passengers using the ferry services, stating plans, if any, for upgrading the fleet or implementing new technologies to monitor and improve ferry operations. I thank you."
