"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the service offered by Kisumu-Butere passenger train popularly known as the \"Butere Dove\" was suspended on 16th October, 2005. This was occasioned by an accident which occurred at a level crossing within Kisian-Lela section when a matatu ploughed in the train killing 14 of the matatu passengers. The locomotive was badly damaged and spares for its repairs have been sought. Due to a shortage of locomotives within the Kenya Railways Corporation, it has not been possible to get a replacement. Consequently, the Kisumu-Butere passenger train is yet to resume. (b) At present, three locomotives are undergoing major repairs at Nalukolongo workshops in Kampala and it is expected that they will be available soon. Nevertheless, the Kenya-Uganda Railway concessionaire is scheduled to run the railway system from 1st November, 2006 and the Kisumu-Butere line will also be under its jurisdiction."
