Lamu will be developed into a city of more than 1.1 million people when a proposed transport corridor linking Kenya, South Sudan and Ethiopia is completed. The Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) Corridor is expected to create jobs for 424,800 people who will be based in Lamu, working with various companies expected to set up base in the envisioned port city.

According to Atkins Acuity, consultants hired to develop an investment framework for Lamu, said the city would be transformed into a special economic zone to attract investors.
Lapsset Corridor will connect Kenya, Ethiopia and South Sudan through highways, railway as well as a crude oil pipeline to Turkana and a refined petroleum products pipeline. The corridor will also include resort cities and airports. “The port makes Lamu a strategic point within the Lapsset Corridor serving as an entry point for goods and people as well as an ideal logistics hub and port city,” said Lapsset Corridor Development Authority Director General Silvester Kasuku. He spoke yesterday during the launch of the Integrated Investment Framework for Lamu County.

The consultants have proposed a three phase approach to develop the city, with the initial phase expected to bring about 56,800 people to Lamu, of which 21,900 will be employed by different Government agencies and private sector companies. Lamu to Miritini
These will largely be working on setting up the infrastructure on which the city stands. The number of people employed in Lamu will grow to 177,000 as firms set up before reaching 424,000 when the corridor is complete. Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia said there are plans to link the Lapsset Corridor with the Northern Corridor, with the expectation that the two corridors will complement each. “There are plans to do a railway line from Lamu to Miritini that will link the two corridors. We already have preliminary plans and now want to look into modalities of how this will be done,” he said. He said the Government has so far spent Sh48 billion in different infrastructural works in Lamu and neighbouring counties.

It has in the 2017/18 financial year allocated Sh10 billion, which Macharia said would be spent on completing the first three berths of the Lamu Port that are expected to be operational by next year. The port will have a total of 32 berths. Macharia added that the Lapsset Corridor, which has been estimated to cost Sh4 trillion, would heavily depend on investments by private sector. “The first three berths of the Lamu will be ready for commissioning in March 2018,” he said. “We are focused on ensuring that work on this corridor moves fast by bringing on board private sector players as well as having the Government investment substantially in infrastructure to show our commitment.”

Light train project to be launched in June, President Uhuru Kenyatta says

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 19 2016

A project to construct a light commuter train network in Nairobi will be launched in June, President Uhuru Kenyatta announced Friday.

The project, co-financed by Kenya and Hungary, will ease traffic congestion in the city.

Hungary implemented a similar project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

President Uhuru Kenyatta said no “development-conscious Kenyan” would oppose the Sh15 billion project.

The President made the announcement when he held talks with Hungary Ambassador to Kenya, Eduard Laszlo Mathe, who paid him a courtesy call at State House, Nairobi.

The President said the first phase one of the project will connect the Standard Gauge Railway end point in Syokiamu to the railway station in the city centre.

The project proposes to connect major roads in Nairobi to the tram network to transport passengers to the city centre.

The roads include Thika Superhighway, Ngong Road, Limuru Road and Ongata Rongai.

The President directed the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure to ensure the project plan is on schedule.

The Hungarian ambassador said the proposed tram service will transform the way people in the capital city get to work.

“It is expected to transport about 300,000 passengers a day and even more when all the branches are fully operational,” he said.

“In line with Hungary’s new foreign policy for Africa to reinforce economic relations, we will train and equip Kenyans with skills to develop the project and own it,” he said.

Why Sh56 billion JKIA Greenfield Terminal project collapsed
Mar. 30, 2016, 5:00 am | By MARTIN MWITA @mwitamartin

The contractor for the bungled Sh56 billion Greenfield Terminal airport project failed to secure funds leading to its collapse, the Star has established.

Kenya Airports Authority management officially terminated the project yesterday, ending Kenya’s dream of having the largest terminal in Africa.

KAA board yesterday said Chinese firm – Anhui Construction Company – was supposed to secure $600 million (Sh60.9 billion under current exchange rate) before the project started at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

Bidders for the tender were to submit a letter of intent to finance the project from a reputable financier.

Anhui which presented two institutions – China Exim Bank and China Development Bank – however, failed to secure the funds.

“The agreement was that whoever wins the contract was to give a sovereign guarantee that they can secure funds for the project.

Finances were, however, not secured so the project could not kick off,” KAA chairman David Kimaiyo said on phone.


In a statement, acting MD Yatich Kangugo cited prevailing operational, economic and financial dynamics in the aviation industry, which have been on a downward trend over the last three years, as reasons for termination of the project.

The project was to be completed by next year.

The board, which held an unusual sitting on the evening of Easter Monday, had already stopped payments to Anhui, according to a source.

The company is said to have withdrawn $4 million (Sh405.9 million) from KAA before the project took off, after it moved to site on September 14, 2013.

Kimaiyo said investigations are underway to establish if any payments were made.

He dismissed concerns that Kenyans risk losing an estimated Sh15 billion over the decision to end the contract.

“In terms of compensation the law will be followed. Even the contractor may pay the government,” Kimaiyo said.
Kimaiyo said investigations are underway to establish if any payments were made.
