• 18 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you know these things more than anybody else does, and you have said it very correctly, that there should be some provisions. I sympathise with my colleague, Hon. (Prof.) Zadoc Ogutu, as a colleague who understands what is going on on the ground, because sometimes what we say might not be what is on the ground. Hon. Speaker, if you allow me, I will make two suggestions. One, Members need to put some of these requests as Questions rather than Statements. A Statement is as it is. I am only going to read it here and finish. But ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you. Can I say a week? view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this great opportunity. Pursuant to provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), Hon. Abdullswamad Sheriff Nassir sought a Statement from this Committee on the following issues: (i) What informed the notice on transit cargo by the Cabinet Secretary with regard to current economic problems bedevilling the sector? (ii) What is causing congestion at the Port of Mombasa and what plans are there to reduce the congestion as well as address the port efficiency? (iii) How is addressing the COVID-19 pandemic a measure of decongesting the Port of Mombasa? (iv) Whether a notice on transit ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: individual reasons, namely, the Cabinet Secretary, and this is not true. Therefore, the public needs to listen to this very carefully. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: The notice was as a result of consultations held by the Heads of State during the Consultative Meeting of the East African Community (EAC) held by video conferencing on 12th May 2020, and the subsequent consultation among the partner states’ ministers in charge of transport. The purpose of this consultation was to formulate strategies of containing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the East African region, at the same time facilitating smooth flow of people and commerce. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: It is after this meeting and a follow-up meeting of the ministers responsible for transport in the four countries that the Cabinet Secretary for Transport issued a statement that transit cargo for those countries should be collected at the Naivasha Inland Container Terminal. This was as agreed in line with the directive by the four Presidents following a visit to the Naivasha Inland Container Terminal and all the countries were expected to issue similar statements. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I need to emphasis what came from the Ministry. The notice on transit cargo is not a negation of the agreement reached earlier with the leaders from Mombasa County, the Kenya Transport Association and my Committee, to withdraw the circular issued in 2019 directing that all cargo from the Port of Mombasa be transported to Nairobi only by the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). The directive issued by Kenya Ports Authority and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) was withdrawn upon intervention by this Committee, the leaders from Mombasa and the Ministry. The recent directive is on the Naivasha Inland Container Depot ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Again, let me also thank the Members who made their comments, specifically colleagues from Mombasa, Hon. (Ms.) Mishi Mboko, who I trust and we have engaged on this matter. Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me be clear once again. The COVID-19 pandemic does not affect what was set aside. I think there is confusion. There is a narrative being built that the order that was agreed by the Heads of State for East Africa on transit goods does not affect local goods. That was to treat and mitigate the effects of COVID-19. I plead with our ... view
