"content": "(b) The two ferries were procured through open tender awarded in April, 2004, and delivered in June, 2010, at the cost of Kshs1, 249,265,152. The tender was won by SET/SYWD, a German firm. The original cost of the two ferries was Kshs983, 691,488 for one six-meter ferry and one 48-meter ferry. This was later varied to two ferries of 6- meter each. The variation has been the subject of investigation by the relevant Committee of this House, the Inspectorate of State Corporations and the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). (c) The new vessels have never stalled midstream but have run aground three times on the island ramps due to the change of tide. The Kenya Ferry Services has now trained all the operators; that is the coxswains and also streamlined the plant maintenance system for all the ferry vessels. All the ferry vessels undergo statutory inspections and safety certificates provided by the Kenya Marine Authority and the Lloyd Register. This is a requirement for both insurance certification and International Maritime Organization requirements and standards. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
