Taming Road Carnage
There is no doubt that today transport plays a crucial role in the economic development of any country. In Kenya, the Economy Recovery Strategy Paper identifies transport as the third pillar of the economy expected to play a catalytic role in the development of other sectors of the economy.
Road safety is a global problem that impacts negatively on social, economic and political areas. According to statistics from World Health Organization (WHO), over 1.3 million people die through road accidents worldwide every year and more than twice this number are permanently disabled through associated injuries.
The most frightening thing is that 85% of this comes from Africa, South of the Sahara, despite the fact that the region has only 4% of Motor Vehicles worldwide. Most accident victims are young people aged between 15-45 years, the most active productive segment of our population.
Kenya has one of the highest fatality rates in the world and loses up to 3,000 lives every year, with an average of about 8 people killed everyday. In Economic terms this has cost the country about Ksh. 6 Billion annually. Even more serious is the trauma suffered by those affected directly or indirectly by these accidents through loss of injury of their loved ones. In fact in terms of mortality, road accidents have been taken the third killer position after Malaria and HIV/AIDS.
Available data shows that the majority of accidents on Kenyan roads amounting to 85% are caused by human error on the part of road users, 11% are due to poor vehicle conditions and vehicle failure and about 4% are attributable to environmental factors. Human error occurs through various factors such as:-overspeeding, driving under influence of alcohol or drugs, overloading, reckless driving, careless pedestrians and un-qualified drivers.
It is for these reasons that the Ministry of Transport gazetted Legal Notice No. 161 of the year 2003 and No 65 of the Year 2004. These legal notices spelt our various measures to be undertaken regarding Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) aimed at reducing fatalities and accidents. In addition the Ministry of Transport launched a member National Road Safety Campaigns aimed at creating awareness among various stakeholders.
Over-all, the number of motor accidents and fatalities in the country between 2003 and 2004 declined significantly because of the new road safety measures. A closer analysis of the statistics indicates that the strict enforcement of the new rules and regulations, removed more than 2,000 unqualified drivers who were hitherto using fake driving licences. The following measures have contributed to the reduction of fatalities from 2004 to date.
Fitting of Speed Governors in all Public Service Vehicles and commercial vehicles whose tare weight exceeds 3,058 Kgs.
Fitting of Safety Belts on all vehicles
Employment of drivers and conductors on permanent basis
Issuing of uniforms for Public Service Vehicle drivers and conductors.
Indicating of route details on Public Service Vehicles
Removal of unqualified drivers and unvetted conductors from PSV operations.
The following are some of the achievements resultant of the Road Safety Campaigns:-
Restoration of Order: Order and discipline have been significantly strengthened in the PSV Sector, enabling commuters to travel in greatly improved comfort.
Reduction of Accidents: Accidents particularly in the Public Service Vehicles sector been reduced by between 30% and 40% since the introduction of road safety reforms.
Decline in crime rate: The high rate of crime and drug abuse particularly in the public service vehicle sector has declined significantly. Requirements that Public Service Vehicle drivers and conductors must get certificates of good conduct have helped to reduce presence of criminals in the industry.
Higher rate of compliance: whereby Public Service Vehicles hitherto bothered to comply with traffic regulations or present themselves for licensing.
There has been a reduction of defective or unroadworthy vehicles from PSV operations and activities of cartels and other illegal groups, hence improved safety and profitability of PSV operations.
Many stakeholders appreciate the efforts with the general public assisting the Government by reporting those who are flouting traffic rules through the given hotline and a dedicated SMS 2333, through which more than 1,000 reports are received per month.
The transport Ministry is committed to the enhancement of road safety activities. It will continue to recognize the role played by the Private Sector and NGO’S like the Automobile Association of Kenya, who have remained strong partners in promoting road safety.
The Automobile Association of Kenya has come up with proactive safety initiatives that are being used to enhance safety on our roads. Over the years, The Automobile Association has ensured that drivers receive the required driving skills.
A Driving Academy, the first of its kind in East Africa, has been established by Shell Kenya Ltd. The facility is open to the public who are interested in acquiring defensive driving skills. To date, 1,565 drivers have been equipped with this skill.

Ministry not responsible for enforcing traffic rules
Story by NATION Team Publication Date: 12/13/2007
Transport and Communications minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere blamed the recent upsurge in fatal road accidents on the police.
Speaking at Matuga constituency, Mr Mwakwere said it was not his ministry’s responsibility to enforce the law.
He brushed off those who had attacked him for not enforcing traffic rules.
Cotu secretary general Francis Atwoli was quoted in the local media as blaming the minister for “his inertia” in dealing with lawless drivers.
Defended himself
But Mr Mwakwere defended himself, saying his critics were politicising the issue yet they knew who was mandated with the responsibility of ensuring traffic rules were followed.
He said drivers, vehicle owners as well as passengers were also to blame for the road carnage in the country.
“If a driver is driving a passenger service vehicle under the influence of alcohol and over speeds the ministry should not be held responsible for that,” he said.

Ministry only involved in transport policy formulation
Published on December 12, 2007, 12:00 am Daily Nation
By Amos Kareithi
Transport minister, Mr Ali Chirau Mwakwere, has told off critics accusing the ministry of failing to curb the escalating number of road accidents.
Mwakwere was angered by suggestions that he had slept on the job and that his ministry was ineffective in arresting the road accidents, whose rates have now reached alarming levels.
"Whenever those accusing me of failing to act , speak, I pity them. They are like students who will never learn. I have tried to explain that my ministry does not run the roads or enforce traffic laws, but they won’t listen," said Mwakwere.
He likened the Central Organisation for Trade Union Secretary General, Mr Francis Atwoli, to a student who would never grasp anything in class.
The Press quoted the trade unionist blaming the Ministry of Transport for its alleged inability to curb the road menace. While reacting to a round of nationwide condemnation and outrage over the re-emergence of road carnage, the minister said his ministry was only involved in policy formulation and had nothing to do with enforcement.
"We do not control the roads nor do we enforce the rules. Other ministries do this. It is the police who should crack the whip on errant drivers," he said. He said the root cause of accidents on Kenyan roads was lack of discipline among drivers and other road users’ disregard of the law.
The minister added that most of the accidents could be avoided if drivers observed traffic rules and the Highway Code.
The country has crawled back to the dark days when road carnage and anarchy were synonymous with Kenya roads.
Last weekend more than 30 people perished in just 12 hours in several smash-ups. Mwakwere’s predecessor, Mr John Michuki, revolutionalised the matatu sub-sector.
Michuki introduced a set of stringent rules that dramatically checked road accidents and restored sanity on the roads.

Port records 9.9 per cent rise in cargo clearance
Published on December 11, 2007, 12:00 am :The Standard
By Benson Kathuri
Cargo clearance at the port of Mombasa rose by 9.9 per cent in the first ten months of this year.
Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) Managing Director, Mr Abdallah Mwaruwa, also said container traffic at the port increased by 22.3 per cent in the same period.
He said the port handled 13.16 million tonnes of cargo compared to 11.97 million tonnes in the same period, last year.
Mwaruwa was speaking at this year’s KPA Customers and Stakeholders Annual Dinner at a Mombasa hotel.
He, however, said the year was characterised by cargo congestion mainly due to poor off-take by roads and rail services.
In October, several shipping lines had threatened to impose a delay surcharge to cushion them against costs incurred from delayed offloading of their vessels.
"The port also received a lot of diverted cargo from neighbouring ports which were experiencing higher levels of vessel congestion," said Mwaruwa.
He said cargo to and from the neighbouring countries had recorded a 5.5 per cent growth rates in the past two years.
Mombasa port also serves landlocked Uganda, Rwanda, Southern Sudan and DRC.
Transport minister, Mr Chirau Ali Mwakwere, said the port had paid Sh1.3 billion to the Treasury as dividend in the past three years.
A new tariff structure expected to reduce handling costs at the Mombasa Port is to be implemented from February.
However, the Kenya Ships Agents Association Chairman, Mr James Knight, asked for more time for consultations before the tariff comes into effect.
Knight also welcomed the proposed port expansion especially the construction of the second container terminal and harbour channel dredging and widening of the turning basin.

The Port of Mombasa has recorded a 9.9 per cent cargo growth in the first ten months of this year compared with those of the same period last year, the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) managing director, Abdallah Mwaruwa has reveled.
At the same time, Mwaruwa said container traffic at the port increased by a record 22.3 per cent when the two periods are compared. According to Mwaruwa, total port throughput in the first ten months of this year amounted to 13.16 million tonnes while in the same period last year it was 11.97 million tonnes.
During the same time, the port handled total container throughput of 484,462 TEUs compared with 396,556 TEUs last year. Speaking during this year’s KPA customers and stakeholders annual dinner at a Mombasa hotel, he, however, noted the year has been a difficult one characterised cargo congestion mainly due to poor off-take by roads and rail services.

During the same time, the port handled total container throughput of 484,462 TEUs compared with 396,556 TEUs last year. Speaking during this year’s KPA customers and stakeholders annual dinner at a Mombasa hotel, he, however, noted the year has been a difficult one characterised cargo congestion mainly due to poor off-take by roads and rail services.
The port also received a lot of diverted cargo from neighbouring ports which are experiencing high levels of vessel congestion already. Mwaruwa, who thanked customers from neighbouring countries for their faith in the port of Mombasa, also recognised the remarkable average growth rates of 5.5 per cent achieved by the same countries in recent times.
In a speech read on his behalf by the KPA board chairman, Gen (rtd) Joseph Raymond Kibwana, the minister for Transport, Chirau Ali Mwakwere, praised for coming a long way into prosperity. He said this enabled KPA to pay dividends amounting to Sh1.3 billion to the Treasury for the last three years.
The function which was also attended by the Attorney-General, Amos Wako and the Permanent Secretary for Treasury, Joseph Kinyua, was attended by many executives from the port and shipping fraternity in Mombasa and Nairobi.
The chairman of the Kenya Ships Agents Association, James Knight, while appreciating the need for KPA to look for additional revenue to invest in major infrastructural projects, appealed for more time for consultation before the new KPA tariff comes into place on 1st February 2008. He said there are concerns to do with interpretations of the tariff as opposed to actual costs. Knight praised the proposed port expansion and improvement plans that are already in place especially the construction of the second container terminal and harbour channel dredging and widening of the turning basin.
The chairman of the Kenya International Freight and Warehousing Association, Me John Gardner said KPA had succeeded because of involving all stakeholders in discussions and critical decision making processes.
Meanwhile, Mr Kinyua, who earlier attended the Friday stakeholders meeting at the KPA headquarters, said KPA deserved a pat on the back for turning around a poor performing port into excellence in a short period of six years.
He said recent loan of Kshs 16 billion signed between KPA and the Japanese Bank for International Cooperation to build the second container terminal was basically on sound managerial and financial capability of the Authority. Accompanied by the PS for transport, Mr Gerrishon Ikiara, Mr Kinyua underpinned the role played by individual stakeholders in the KPA success and said it augured well for all.
Meanwhile, East African region importers have claimed poor performance at the port of Dar es-Salaam is undermining efforts to ease congestion at the Mombasa port.
The importers said while Mombasa has significantly reduced the number of days that vessels are taking to dock at the port, waiting time remains unchanged at Dar-es-Salaam.
A report compiled by the Inter Governmental Standing Committee on Shipping said what goes on in Dar has a direct impact on Mombasa because there is heavy diversion to Mombasa. These delays are forcing ships to divert to Mombasa, adding to the congestion crisis that the port has been trying to resolve.
The shipping lines now say they will have to introduce the decongestion measures agreed earlier this year upon the expiry of the moratorium period on December 31.
Part of the proposed measures include the introduction of a vessel delay surcharge on the port managers - a move that is expected to increase costs to port users.
Poor performance at the two ports prompted shipping lines to issue a notice of intention to impose a US$201 fine for every extra day that a ship spends waiting to offload its cargo.
The shipping lines said they had been forced to introduce the measure to shield themselves from the losses incurred from extended turnaround times in the two ports. The amount chargeable was to be reviewed and adjusted in tandem with the additional costs accruing to the shipping lines.
It is estimated that failure to reduce congestion at Mombasa port would have forced Kenya Ports Authority to pay $18.8 million to the 21 registered shipping lines this year alone.
Implementation of a 24-hour working schedule in Mombasa has seen congestion ease at the port, saving the management the surcharge penalty.
KPA has also appointed two container freight stations (CFSs) - Consolbase and Mitchell Cotts –as agents to handle new duty- paid local containers.
The port has also set aside berths 13 and 14 for Maersk Line -the world’s biggest shipping line – and talks are on with six local truck companies to have them dedicate some of their trucks to transporting Inland Container Depots-bound cargo through bills of lading arrangement.
Such cargo is currently moved by rail but an acute shortage of wagons has increased the pile-up. It now takes three days to transfer containers from the CFS yard to the container terminus.
In the past five years, KPA has concentrated on upgrading its cargo and marine equipment at the port in a $117 million programme.
Vibrancy in economies of hinterland countries - with average economic growths of 5.6 percent per annum – poses challenges on faster connectivity with the international markets.
Last month, KPA received a $250 million loan from the Japanese Government to more than double the port’s current container handling capacity through construction of a second container terminal, near the existing one.
Under the 10-year project, the port’s harbour channel is to be dredged to an average depth of 15m and the turning basin also widened to enable Mombasa handle larger vessels.
The additional container terminal - to be built on some 100 hectares of land next to the Kipevu Oil Terminal – is expected to handle over 1.2 million units.
On completion in 2018, the project is likely to make Mombasa one of the 20 top ports in the world in terms of performance and reputation.

African nations urged to harmonise aviation laws
African states should harmonise their aviation regulations to attract financing needed by the continent's carriers to compete in in the gobal market, Nigeria state minister for air transport said on Tuesday.
"I wish to propose the harmonisation of the regulatory framework through the integration of the African aviation systems," Felix Hyat told a meeting of industry leaders and financiers in Nairobi.This, he said, would get rid of obstacles, bottlenecks, and obsolete laws that scare away potential investors. He added that over 65% of the continent's fleets are acquired through financing facilities.
Kenyan Transport Minister Ali Mwakwere said African governments, operators, manufacturers and donor agencies should develop a common plan for financing the growth of the industry.Africa committed to open up its skies to foreign carriers in a 1999 agreement signed in Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire But airline executives complain that foreign carriers are hurting their businesses.
"The major problem is globalisation. It is putting our small carriers on the same footing as mega carriers of the world for competition," said Christian Folly-Kossi, head of the African Airlines Association.David Savy, the chairperson and chief executive of Air Seychelles, told Reuters the entry of Gulf-based airlines into the African market had led to lower profits and aggressive competition.Africa has become a recruiting ground for many Middle East and some Asian carriers, who lure away pilots, engineers and cabin crew staff trained African airlines, he said."This is an issue because investment is done by African carriers and the fruits are being reaped by predators."
