Kenya is moving to borrow from Colombia’s bus rapid transit model in Bogota that will see construction of special lanes for high-capacity buses in efforts to decongest Nairobi roads.

The Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (Namata) said that the country is going for a more advanced system than what neighbouring Dar es Salaam has.

This came after the Authority visited Dar last December to study its bus rapid transit (BRT) system and noted several hiccups such as tardiness in bus arrivals and departures along with a “not-so-tight integration between roads and commuter rail stations.”

“We are working with the Bogota model which is advanced and better timed than Dar es Salaam is,” said Namata CEO James Ng'ang'a.

The BRT system is generally designed to improve a city's public transport network relative to a conventional bus system.

In Bogota’s TransMilenio system, commuters swipe their smart cards loaded with cash to gain entry into the bus stations and wait for buses inside the stations, operating like an above-ground subway. In Dar, cash is used.

Kenyan officials said they will construct overhead pedestrian crossings every kilometre for passengers to access the bus station pick-points.
Each bus is expected to have a capacity of about 160 passengers who will use cards for payment.

Kenya has opted for BRT system, to support its rickety public commuter services and ease congestion, a plan that will see creation of special lanes dedicated to more efficient buses.

Routes
The transport agency has already mapped out five routes that will have the lanes reserved for buses.

In the city centre, the bus rapid lanes will be constructed along roads like Haile Selassie, Moi Avenue, Kenyatta Avenue and University Way, according to the agency’s designs.

Outside city centre, the Nairobi transport agency has mapped out five routes including Thika superhighway, Jogoo Road, Mombasa Road and Outer Ring Road that will have the lanes reserved for buses.

“There will be feeder stations along the BRT corridors that ordinary matatus will drop off commuters from estates for them to be picked by large buses on the special lanes to Nairobi town,” said Mr Nganga.

In 2016, Dar became the first town in East Africa to launch a bus rapid transit system, which has helped ease public transport.

Dar completed the first phase of the 21-kilometre rapid transit system, which has five terminals, 27 stations, seven feeder stations and three connector stations. About 140 buses serve thousands daily on the special motorway lanes.

Time wasted in traffic
Nairobi has in recent years witnessed an explosion of cars that is unmatched by the expansion of roads.

The World Bank estimates that Nairobi residents on average spend an hour to travel to work and another 60 minutes commuting back home due to traffic congestion.

Dar es Salaam. The national debt increased by $3.9 billion in one year as the government is implementing infrastructure projects and improve provision of social services.

According to the Bank of Tanzania’s (BoT) monthly economic review, the debt stood at $33. 7 bill at the end of July this year, having increased by $3.9 billion from July 2020.

External debt, comprising the public and private sector, amounted to $25.96 billion at the end of July 2021 and accounted for 77 percent of the national debt.

The debt stock represented an increase of $436.8 million from the preceding month and $2.76 billion from July 2020.

“The profile of external debt by borrower category remained broadly unchanged, with debt owed by the central government accounting for 77.7 percent,” BoT stated.

According to the central bank of Tanzania, transport and telecommunication activities accounted for more than a quarter of outstanding external debt, associated with ongoing mega infrastructure projects, followed by social welfare and education, as well as energy and mining.

On the other hand, the government domestic debt amounted to Sh17.8 trillion at the end of July 2021, a decrease of Sh1.12 trillion from June 2021 and an increase of Sh2.7 trillion from the corresponding period in 2020.

Longer-term instruments, which are Treasury bonds and stocks, sustained dominance in the composition of domestic debt, accounting for 84.7 percent of the stock.

External debt service payments amounted to $25.2 million, of which $21 million was principal, the central bank said.

Tanzania explains its lowering economic growth trends​

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 19 2021​

Treasury Permanent Secretary, Mr Emmanuel Tutuba

Summary​

• In a letter to the International Monetary Fund, Tanzania stated that it slashed its growth forecast to four percent this year, down from 5.6 percent announced in June

Dar es Salaam. The government yesterday attributed the lowering of economic growth projections to the decline in performance of key sectors due to Covid-19 impact.

According to a letter of intent to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Tanzania slashed its growth forecast to four percent this year, down from 5.6 percent announced in June.

Finance and Planning ministry’s permanent secretary Emmanuel Tutuba told The Citizen yesterday that the outbreak of the third wave of Covid-19 was the cause of the slow performance of the key sectors including tourism and transportation.

The government will also table a supplementary budget in Parliament in February 2022, after the disbursement of the $567 million (Sh1.3 trillion through Rapid Credit Facility (RCF) and Rapid Financing Instrument (RFI) by the IMF.

“The slashing is partly due to closure of industries and lockdown in most foreign countries, which significantly affect the movement of people and goods, therefore bringing implications in revenue collections,” said Mr Tutuba over the phone.

He said in 2020 the country’s economy grew by 4.8 percent as compared to seven percent anticipated, noting that this was fairly good compared to other countries that recorded a negative growth.

“Some key sectors have been seriously hit by the third wave of Covid-19 in the first six months of 2021 that has forced us to review projections from between four to five percent instead of the previous 5.6 percent reaching December this year,” he said.

He said the tourism sector poorly performed in the first quarter and Covid-19 retarded its recovery in the second quarter, but expressed regaining hope after jab campaigns.

According to him, coronavirus impacts in the transportation of people and cargo has been caused by travel restrictions, grounding of planes and cancellation of fleets, therefore reducing the sector’s contribution to the country’s economic growth.

Regarding the supplementary budget, he said the was move aimed at seeking parliamentary approval of funds recently secured from IMF in order for money to be legally utilized.

Mr Tutuba said the funds have already arrived, saying procedures were underway to sign agreements with the government of Zanzibar and different ministries on how the money would be utilized.

“The Sh1.3 trillion funds from IMF is a new source of income that will need approval of Parliament in agreed areas,” he said, terming it a normal legal requirement.

However, he said not all the Sh1.3 trillion would be reflected in the Sh36.33 trillion approved budget for 2021/22, because there were some sources such as mobile money transfers that would not contribute by 100 percent as earlier predicted.

Reacting on the development, the University of Iringa (UoI) lecturer, Prof Enock Wiketye said projections always do not consider the unknown future conditions.

“Tanzania’s advantage is good food production that will reduce costs of feeding the population. But, concerns will remain on the government’s efforts to prevent more impacts to the sectors such as tourism,” he said, adding.

“Principally, if projections have been made alongside probabilities, then they are realistic because you can’t be a 100 percent perfect when projecting on the future,” he said.

He said regardless of the source, secured public funds had to be taken to Parliament including through supplementary budget approval.

For his part, Prof Watengere Kitojo of the Centre for Diplomacy said trade, investment, technology, tourism, manufacturing and construction are the key areas expected to significantly contribute to Tanzania’s economic growth.

“But, most of them have been seriously affected by Covid-19. Despite growth in other countries having reached the single digit, the country’s projection is slightly high,” he said.

He suggested that special strategies should be put in place for realization of projection by ensuring stimulants are assisted to recover in order to significantly contribute to the country’s economic growth.”
