Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>CS Roads Kipchumba Murkomen on Saturday said he is impressed by members of the country\u2019s e-mobility task force.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am impressed by the progress they have made towards formulating the country’s first national electric mobility policy,\u201d Murkomen said in a statement on his X tweet.<\/p>\n

He said his ministry is proud of the rich expertise of the task force and believes it has what it takes to give the country the right report and draft policy, law(s) and regulations that help drive the country\u2019s nascent e-mobility industry into the future.<\/p>\n

The CS also thanked the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ) for the support they have given the task force.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the team embarks on the critical phase of public engagement, I urge them to consult widely to produce a robust document that will guide the country’s efforts to curb the adverse effects of climate change and cement our global leadership in renewable energy,\u201d said Murkomen.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Friday, Murkomen said one key reform he desires is the decentralisation of Kenya Roads Board offices to ensure the efficient use of resources in projects across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cOverloading is another major concern as it is destroying our roads and we are looking to build more weighbridges and leveraging technology to curb this menace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said so when he held a performance workshop for top managers in the State Department for Roads in Nairobi and reiterated the need to focus on key priority areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urged the various cadres of leadership to boost the staff morale which is critical in fulfilling our huge mandate. Our team at the workshop included the Principal Secretary for Roads, Eng. Joseph Mbugua, heads of divisions within the State Department, and Directors General of the various State agencies,\u201d said the CS.<\/p>\n

He said the meeting discussed a wide range of service delivery initiatives including the planned deployment of the Intelligent Traffic System (ITS) in the Kenyan urban centres.<\/p>\n

The CS said ITS is key in cutting traffic offences while raising the much-needed development resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grappling with huge pending bills, but we are committed to progressively clearing them and fulfilling our ambitious infrastructure pledges through various ways, the key of which is the Public-Private Partnership model,\u201d Murkomen said.<\/p>\n

He said his ministry is also enhancing prudence in the county\u2019s rural road networks to ensure that there is no duplication of resources.<\/p>\n
