    "content": "I have had the opportunity to discuss the policy and programmes of the Ministry of Transport with the Departmental Committee, and I wish to take this very early opportunity to thank the Chair and the Committee for the support that they have given in the course of those discussions and, indeed, the interest they have shown in the activities of the Ministry. The Government recognizes the critical enabling role of the transport sector in the rapid and sustained economic development of our country. The sector encompasses a transport system that comprises aviation, roads, rail, maritime, inland waterways and non-motorized transport. The sector has been one of the high key growth areas in the economy and, according to the 2010 Economic Survey, the sector posted Kshs436 billion in 2009 compared to Kshs432 billion in 2008. Its share of GDP contribution in 2009 was about 19.2 per cent. During the current fiscal year, the Ministry will continue to give high priority to the areas that will contribute towards the realization of the Kenya National Vision 2030. The Vision recognizes the sector as an important enabler of the envisaged national transformation."
