(c) The Kenya Railways Corporation is striving to increase the number of coaches by refurbishing those that have been out of service. The Government has, towards this end, agreed to fund half of the cost amounting to over Kshs70 million. The other half will be financed by the recently appointed concessionaire. As a regular measure aimed at ensuring passenger safety, the corporation makes appropriate announcements through the station public address system, and also places notices in the station in which commuters are firmly warned not to hang onto or ride on top of coaches. Furthermore, similar warnings are occasionally carried out in some local print and electronic media. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Kenya Railways Police, and other internal security officers, regularly arrest those found hanging onto or riding on top of coaches. In the last six months, over 129 persons have been arrested and taken to court for prosecution. In the long term it is confirmed that the concessionaire will modernise the passenger service to incorporate greater safety and security measures."
