• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: operators across the country. The following measures have been put in place to ensure proper coordination in handling of boda boda operators by the NPS, NTSA and other relevant agencies. The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government established a cross sectoral task force on motor cycle public transport, boda boda reforms, comprising of representatives of Government, non-governmental organisations and boda boda association. The task force was mandated to assess, build consensus and make recommendations on the reforms of the sector. The Ministry has subsequently established an interim coordinating secretariat to commence implementation of the task force’s recommendations. A ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: corrective measures accordingly. A number of roads have been comprehensively audited and recommendations have been implemented to ensure safety of all road users. They include the northern corridor where numerous black spots were identified and they are currently being treated, and Nairobi high risk roads. The NTSA and the NPS share road crash data with road agencies on a monthly basis by giving locations of deaths, type of injuries of road users and key infrastructure factors that influence risk to each road user group. This is information for strategic action by the road agencies and implementation of evidence-based engineering treatment ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Hon. Speaker. The Government in collaboration with stakeholders supported the development of a non motorised policy that was adopted by the Nairobi County Assembly. Currently, there are elaborate plans being implemented to decongest[1] Nairobi City County through provision of sufficient non- motorized transport (NMT) facilities, pedestrian walkways, crossing points and foot bridges, designated boda boda and bus terminus and, well lit, clean and safe streets. The NTSA is also spearheading the establishment of county transport and safety in collaboration with respective county governments and development partners to improve management and coordination of boda boda transport sub-sector. ... view

• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Hon. Speaker. During this Financial Year of 2020/2021, the Government is mainstreaming road safety in all its ministries, departments and agencies through a multi-sectoral approach that will ensure road safety issues are made an integral part of Government programme project. The overall goal is to substantially reduce the burden and severity of roads crashes in Kenya. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is currently estimated that there is an annual loss of 3,000 lives and 10,000 injuries and a corresponding loss of 5 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product as part of their performance. Traffic contract targeting MDAs are therefore required. The general uptake of licences among boda boda operators is inarguably low, owing to the following: 1. Lack of formal training of riders to enable them to apply for driving licences. 2. Lack of proper documentation necessary for the application of licences and identification cards. 3. Delays in the collection of the already processed ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to respond to my brother Hon. Osotsi regarding the issue of the number of licences issued already. As I mentioned earlier, already there are 1.6 million issued. In the last part of my statement, I have made it clear that the reason many applicants do not receive their licences is because they do not have identification cards and the process is usually very tedious. Otherwise, the Government is doing its best to make sure that the process is faster and the young people can get their licences as soon as they do ... view

• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I said I want to include his request in my statement so it goes into the record because he is not in the House right now. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I need to respond to the statement as you requested the other day. There has been a longstanding boundary dispute between the Pokot of Baringo East Sub-county and the Turkana of Turkana East Sub-county over the ownership of Kapedo. Other contributing factors to the conflicts include proliferation of small arms and light weapons, porous border with South Sudan and Uganda, and the culture of moranism, which encourages frequent raids on neighbouring communities. Some of the areas that have been affected by the conflicts are Kapedo Centre, Kapedo Bridge, Nadomelomelo, Kamunge, Chemolingot, Loruk and Karau hills, ... view
