(a) The Kenya Ports Authority is in the process of completing the necessary legal and other processes to enable the Authority to compensate land owners who will be affected and displaced by the construction of a new access road which will serve the New Port Container Terminal Project to be funded by a Japanese loan. The total compensation package inclusive of administrative costs and contingencies is Kshs500 million. The KPA intends to complete the compensation processes within the next six months. (b) The New Container Terminal Project will be built on 100 hectares of land to be July 31, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2263 reclaimed from the sea pocket west of the existing Kipevu Oil Jetty. No land will, therefore, be acquired for the New Container Terminal. (c) I can confirm to the House that the Ministry of Transport will monitor the implementation of the project through an Inter-Ministerial Committee comprising the Ministries of Transport, Finance, State Law Office and KPA to ensure that the project is implemented strictly in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Japanese Bank for International Co-operation who are the lenders, and also as provided by the Procurement Act, 2005. This process will ensure that the country does not incur unnecessary expenditure on the project."
