Sessional Paper of 2010 on Integrated National Transport Policy

Abstract

As we implement Kenya's Long Term Development Strategy, Vision 2030 Kenya is looking to the future with the aim of consolidating, enhancing and sustaining the gains of the Economic Recovety Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation 2003-2007" (ERS). The transport sector is recogi;iized as a key pillar and a critical enabler in the achievement of this strategy. lt will be important not only in improving the competitiveness of products from Kenya and the region, but also serve as a significant basis upon which the economic, social and political pillars of this long term development strategy will be built. Further, the sector is expected to remain a key component in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Given this envisaged economic development and subsequent sustained growth, in the context of changing population and land use patterns, a competitive regional and global economy, strategic nation building considerations and new market development, it is apparent that the task of transport sector will be highly complex and demanding.
