Kenya gets 2,600km of tarmac roads in two years

TUESDAY, MAY 3, 2016 21:28

Kenya tarmacked 2,600 kilometres of roads in the two years to July 2015 taking its total length of bitumen surface roads to 13,900 kilometres.
Data in the Economic Survey 2016 shows that the bulk of these new roads are in cities and towns which have been recording a higher population growth compared to rural areas.
The length of the new roads translates to an average 1,300km per year but falls short of the Jubilee government’s target of over 3,000km annually announced two years ago.
“During the period under review, there was an increase of road under bitumen from 11,300 kilometres in 2013 to 13,900 thousand kilometres,” the Economic Survey 2016 says.
“The total kilometres of road under earth/gravel increased from 52,400 kilometres in 2013 to 65,600 kilometres in 2015 due to the adoption of the low volume sealed roads technology for road improvement and upgrading.”
Kenya has been devoting a substantial chunk of its budget to roads development since 2003 as it seeks to open up rural and far-flung areas, ease access to markets and reduce vehicular congestion in urban areas.
In August 2014, President Uhuru announced an ambitious plan dubbed the Road Annuity Programme that was to see private capital utilised to build 10,000km in three years but the project has since stalled.
Over the two year period, the Economic Survey shows that 2,300km of urban roads were built, 300km of trunk and primary roads and 100km of secondary and minor roads.

In the current financial year that ends June, the government is undertaking works on nearly 1,100km even as it works to revive the annuity plan.
“Overall, a total of Sh84.1 billion is expected to be utilised on road works covering a total distance of 1,092 kilometres during the financial year.”
Kenya is banking on a Sh150 billion concessionary loan from the World Bank to speed up annuity roads financing programme allowing contractors to access cash for operations at affordable rates after local banks frustrated the previous effort.

KAMPALA. Tanzania has ignored multiple requests from Uganda for a bilateral meeting to address trade concerns.
Uganda in September petitioned Tanzania over dipping trade relations on a number of issues that have negatively impacted trade between the two countries.
Ms Hadija Nakakande, the Ministry of Trade public relations manager, had in September confirmed they had petitioned Tanzania to address issues related to Ugandan exports into Tanzania.
However, the bilateral would have given opportunity for both countries to relay their concerns.
Key among the issues, she said, would include resolving the issue of road user fees, which require Ugandan exporters to pay for using Tanzania roads, retesting products that have already been certified by Uganda National Bureau of Standards, free movement of people and charging Ugandan traders’ business visas.
Ugandan clearing and forwarding agents have also been raising concerns over the fact that they have been denied an opportunity to open outlets in Tanzania.
The Trade Ministry, Ms Nakakande said would also seek to address the recurring issue that has seen countries raise a red-flag on re-exporting goods imported from other countries.
Sour relations
The meeting follows concerns over denying entry to some of Ugandan products into Tanzania and slapping some with prohibitive taxes.
Tanzania had announced that it would slap Ugandan sugar with a 25 per cent Import Duty contrary to the East Africa Common Market Protocol.
Other products that had been denied entry into the country include sweets and other sweeteners that Tanzania claimed are re-exported from other countries.
However, Daily Monitor has now learnt that Tanzania has since September not responded to multiple requests from Uganda for a bilateral meeting.
During a telephone interview, Mr Emmanuel Atwine, the senior commercial officer Ministry of trade, yesterday revealed that Tanzania was yet to respond despite several attempts by Uganda.
“They did not respond,” he said.
Efforts have also been taken through the embassy of Uganda in Tanzania but all have been futile,” Mr Atwine said.
Way forward
The minister is now planning a visit to the East African country to secure a face to face meeting with Tanzania.
“They have not yet responded but we are planning on going there ourselves, we even engaged our embassy to talk to them but still no positive response,” he responded explaining that the minister will set the date of travel.
