the roads.

WHY REFORMS (1)?
 To align the legal and institutional framework
governing the roads to Constitution 2010
 Provision of High quality roads that support
economic development
 To reduce transport costs and travel time by
improving the condition of national trunk roads
and county roads (11%-good; 33%- fair; 56%
poor)
 Road Investment 7 trillion Kshs for period
2010-2024
WHY REFORMS (2)?
 To set out criteria for road classification
consistent with the mandates of the two
levels of government
 To optimize use of available resources in the
development, rehabilitation and maintenance
of roads
 To enhance capacity for local contractors
 To enhance connectivity throughout the
country consistent
WHY REFORMS (3)?
 To promote role clarity and accountability
for all actors in the road sub-sector
 To create a conducive environment for
increased public-private partnerships and
intergovernmental relations
 To enhance road safety and cater for the
needs of non-motorized traffic.
 To realize 2030 vision for infrastructure
“To deploy and employ cost effective world
class infrastructure facilities and services in
support of socio-economic development”
WHAT REFORMS?
Road Management Initiative
(1992)
Creating Ownership
Involve Road Users in
management of roads
Stabilizing Road
Financing
Securing an adequate &
Stable Flow of funds
Clarifying Responsibility
Clearly establishing who
is responsible for what
Strengthening
Management of Roads
Providing effective systems
And procedures and
Strengthening managerial
accountability
WHAT REFORMS ?
 Fulfillment of the four Building blocks
 Road Maintenance Levy fund created in 1993;
 Enactment of Kenya Roads Board Act in 1999 to
provide for management of Fuel Levy;
 Enactment of Kenya Roads Act, 2007 to bring
ownership, responsibility and commercialized
management of Roads sub-sector (fundamental
change of processes in policies and institutional
arrangements of the road subsector).
 Operationalization of Roads Authorities in 2008 gave
overall responsibility for management of entire road
network to the Ministry of Roads through 5 agencies
- KeNHA; KURA; KeRRA ; KWS & KRB.
RE ALIGNMENT TO
CONSTITUTION 2010
 National Government
 road traffic; the Construction and operation of
national trunk roads,
 standards for the construction and
maintenance of other roads by counties,
 capacity building and technical assistance to
the counties, public investments and disaster
management.
 County Government
 county transport including county roads, street
lighting, traffic and parking, public road
transport and ferries and harbours.
STATUS OF REFORMS
 Pace of reform varies across institutions
 The structure of the road sub sector
after reform will also differ by county
 Transition in the road sector has
presented challenges affecting policy,
institutions and road expansion
•
CHALLENGES
 Lack of fully integrated transport system
 Institutional deficiencies/ Inadequate
Human Resources; Low Contractor
Capacity
 Land Acquisition for road construction
 Inadequate Funding
 Axle Load Compliance
•
CHALLENGES
 Road Safety Management
continued
fragmentation
 Vandalism
 Encroachment on Road Reserves
 Inadequate Road construction
equipment
 Volatile Foreign Exchange market
•
INSTITUTIONAL
FRAMEWORK
 Who will be responsible for
 policy formulation and setting of standards,
coordination and oversight?
 for development & maintenance of national
trunk roads, axle load control and technical
support to counties?
 enforcement of standards of construction
and maintenance of roads?
 mobilization and management of all roads subsector funds?
 County roads?
LESSONS LEARNT
 Need for an efficient staff establishment that
is adequate to fulfill its mandate in terms of
preparation and implementation of road works
 structure should reflect the functions that it
must implement
 Staff establishment, should have well qualified
and adequate staffing in the areas of
engineering, procurement, financial
management, legal services, corporate relations,
planning and environment, technical and
financial audit and information and
communications technology (ICT).
IMPLEMENTATION
STRATEGY
 Need for Interim Management
Committee for operationalization
agencies as was done in 2008
 What happens to existing staff of
Authorities?
 What happens to the road assets &
liabilities?
 What will be the role of all
stakeholders?
