"content": " Hon. Speaker, the Ministry stated that the procurement of the SIDs was facing challenges due to non-responsive tenders, with the initial phase of tendering having been closed due to the following reasons: 1. Concerns over tenderer pricing, which exceeded the market rates. 2. Impracticality of the proposed implementation period, which would have resulted in the issuance of the document in the year 2025. The Ministry submitted that the tender had to be re-issued and the process was on the second phase of the tender process, with prequalified suppliers identified. The document was slated to be dispatched to the bidders before 20th May 2024. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "With regard to the number of applications received by KMA and the number of SIDs issued from 2022 to date, the Ministry submitted that KMA had not received any applications for the SIDs, although it acknowledged that there is a huge demand from seafarers for this document to be issued. Further, the Ministry submitted that plans were underway to extend the SIDs issuance to all eligible seafarers once the processing and issuance procedures are finalised. The Ministry is focused on completing the necessary groundwork to facilitate a smooth and efficient rollout process, thus enabling eligible seafarers to obtain their SIDs without undue delay once the process is finalised. On the challenges that have hindered the processing of SIDs, the Ministry submitted that the implementation of the issuance of the identity document presents unique challenges due to its stringent security requirements that are set by international regulatory bodies such as the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). Those regulations necessitate attention to detail to ensure compliance. The Ministry observed that many countries had been quick to issue the SIDs and got it wrong, resulting in wastage of resources, a path they are trying to avoid. Regarding the plans that have been put in place to ensure that processing of SIDs is fast- tracked, the Ministry submitted that the following measures have been instituted: 1. Engaging in consultative meetings with ILO, conducting market surveys, and reviewing the implementation strategies adopted by the few countries that have successfully implemented SID. This has provided insights and best practices, thus informing the Ministry’s implementation process. 2. Streamlining procedures to enhance efficiency and reduce processing time by optimising workflows and eliminating unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles, aiming to expedite the issuance of SIDs without compromising on security standards. 3. Collaborating closely with relevant stakeholders, including the Ministry responsible for immigration, to address technical challenges and enhance overall process efficiency. This collaborative effort ensures that all pertinent issues are addressed comprehensively, fostering a conducive environment for swift SID processing. 4. Implementing a robust system of continuous monitoring and evaluation of the SID issuance process. This enables identification of any potential obstacles and bottlenecks promptly, allowing for timely intervention and resolution. The Ministry submitted that the targeted timeline for issuance of SIDs is June 2024. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": "1. The immediate measures the Ministry of Roads, Transport and Public Works is putting in place to rehabilitate the Kapenguria-Lodwar Road. 2. The long-term measures the Ministry is taking to ensure the safety of residents during heavy rains. The Committee received a response from the Ministry of Roads, Transport and Public Works, which I now wish to submit. They submitted that Kapenguria-Lodwar Road is part of the national road network which is managed by the Ministry through its implementing agency, the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA). On 29th April 2024, a flash-flood washed away a section of the road pavement in the vicinity of Lous market in West Pokot County, which disrupted traffic flow at that location. Hon. Speaker, the following remedial measures were taken immediately to reinstate traffic movement and repair the road. 1. KeNHA immediately mobilised an emergency framework contractor to construct temporary diversion around the damaged road section. It allowed vehicles to bypass the affected section and enabled resumption of traffic movement. The diversion was completed and made operational approximately six hours after the wash-out occurred. 2. Once the temporary diversion was reconstructed and traffic flow was reinstated, the road maintenance team completed the installation of culverts and rebuilt the embankment and pavement which had been washed away, thus repairing the damage that was caused by the floods. The repaired section was opened to public traffic on 13th May 2024. With regard to the long-term measures the Ministry is taking to ensure the safety of residents during heavy rains, the Ministry stated that it has been progressively reconstructing sections of the Kapenguria-Lodwar Road in the last few years. This process includes replacing all drifts with bridges, installing culverts with high drainage capacity, widening the road cross section, installing a stronger and more durable pavement and gradually making the road more resilient to flood damage. The reconstruction, therefore, provides a permanent long-term solution to the disruption of traffic and risks of the safety of residents that are caused by flash-floods from time to time. The Ministry submitted that, as of May 2024, the road section between Lokichar and Lodwar, together with a stand-alone bridge section at Kainuk, had been fully reconstructed. The road section between Kapenguria and Lokichar is awaiting the commencement of reconstruction. Additionally, the Government has secured support from development partners towards reconstructing all the road sections along the Kitale-Kapenguria-Lokichar stretch. The German Development Agency (KFW) will support the reconstruction of the Kitale-Morpus section. The African Development Bank will support the reconstruction of the Morpus-Lokichar section. Reconstruction of the Kitale-Morpus section is anticipated to commence in July this year. The reconstruction of the Morpus-Lokichar section is anticipated to commence in the second quarter of the 2025 calendar year. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
