Further, the modernisation and expansion of the Port of Mombasa at Kilindini as well as the construction of three berths at Manda Bay in Lamu has commenced.We are now firming up alternative sources of financing to speed up implementation of the Lamu Port. We have also expanded container terminals and cargo handling capacity thus significantly reducing the time it takes to clear cargo. Similarly, under the programme on airports improvement, we are making impressive progress. Hon. Speaker, the continued expansion of our road network is critical for enhancingthe productivity and competitiveness of our economy. To this end, I have proposed the following allocations for expansion of our road network throughout the country:- - Kshs58.5 billion for on-going road construction; - Kshs26.7 billion for road maintenance; - Kshs42.0 billion for foreign financed roads; and, - Kshs5.0 billion for the Road Annuity Programme. Hon. Speaker, as we invest in ports expansion and modernisation, we are cognizant of the challenges faced by ferry users across Likoni. In this regard and in order to assure safety and efficient movement of people and cargo between Mombasa and the mainland, I have allocated Kshs1.3 billion for the purchase of ferries."
