Project: Proposed Dualing of Kenol-Sagana-Marua Road (84Km) Language: English Original: English PROJECT: PROPOSED DUALING OF KENOL-SAGANA-MARUA ROAD (84KM) COUNTRY: KENYA RAP SUMMARY FOR THE PROPOSED DUALLING OF KENOL – SAGANA – MARUA ROAD Date: March 2019 Team Leader: Z. TESSEMA, Chief Transport Engineer, RDGE.3 Preparation Team E&S Team Member: E.B. KAHUBIRE, Social Development Officer, RDGE4 /SNSC 1 PROJECT TITLE: KENOL – SAGANA – MARUA ROAD PROJECT PROJECT NUMBER: P-KE-DB0-037 COUNTRY: KENYA CATEGORY: 1 CATEGORY: 1 Sector: PICU Project Category: 1 2 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The Kenol – Sagana – Marua Road is part of the “Great North Road” from Mombasa, through Nairobi and on to Moyale - and hence to Ethiopia and Addis Ababa. It forms part of the 800km stretch between Nairobi and Moyale and is situated in the three counties of Muranga, Kirinyaga and Nyeri. The road starts at the junction with C71 (Kenol) and traverses through the trading centres of Makutano (Junction A2/B6), Sagana, Karatina before terminating at Marua (Junction A2/B5). 1.2. The existing road is a single carriageway to bitumen standards. It is a constriction – an impediment to flow of the high traffic experienced between Nairobi and Isiolo/Nyeri towns as well as other roads serving off shoot towns like Embu, Meru, Mwea, Kerugoya, Kutus, Kagio, Baricho, Kagumo,Mukurweini, Tumutumu among others that connect to this arterial road at various points. The road therefore requires upgrading to dual carriageway to absorb and serve this traffic and support the socio-economic growth of the area. The route from the Port of Mombasa to Addis Ababa, via Nairobi, Isiolo and Moyale, holds economic advantages for Kenya in her trade with Ethiopia. It has been envisaged that any development of this route corridor could help in solving Ethiopia’s import problems and at the same time bring business opportunities, employment, and increased economic prosperity to Kenya as a whole. 1.3. The section of road from Isiolo to Merille River –Moyale has recently been upgraded to bitumen standards. On completion of construction of this section of the corridor, the proposed section for dualling is expected to be even busier than it is currently. 1.4. The project road is situated in the former Central Province. It traverses the counties of Murang’a, Nyeri and Kirinyaga starting at Kenol, Maragua District, then on through the towns of Makutano, Sagana, Kirinyaga District, and Karatina, Nyeri District before finally terminating in Marua town, Nyeri County. The Kenol – Sagana – Karatina – Marua Road Project is located along the A2 international trunk road, starts approximately 16 km north of Thika town, and ends approximately 15 kms south -east of Nyeri Town. 1.5. Description of Road Sections: The whole road section between Kenol and Marua has recently been applied with an overlay and therefore a fair riding surface. The existing road (approximately 84 km in length) starts in Kenol at the junction with C71 (approximately 1500m above sea level) and traverses through the trading centers of Makutano, Sagana, Karatina before terminating at Marua (junction A2/B5) located at 1650 m above sea level. The first 60 km are considered as rolling with a low point located at Chainage 28+000 where the road crosses Sagana (Tana) River at an elevation of 1050m above sea level. The road reserve between Kenol to Sagana and Sagana to Marua is 60m and 40m respectively. 1.6. Road Alignment: The existing road (approximately 84 km in length) starts in Kenol at the junction with C71 (approximately 1500 m above sea level) and traverses through the trading centers of Makutano, Sagana, Karatina before terminating at Marua (junction A2/B5) located at 1650 m above sea level. The first 60 km are considered as rolling with a low point located at Chainage 28+000 where the road crosses the Tana River at an elevation of 1050 m above sea level. 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PLANNED INVESTMENTS 2.1. Proposed Intervention: The project interventions include the construction of a dual carriageway consisting of four lanes (two lanes each of 3.5m width on either side separated by median Island) with 2m shoulder on the outer side and 1m shoulder on the inner side. In addition the works will involve the construction of grade separated junctions (interchanges) at the junction with B24 (Makuatano) and B21 (Marua) , construction of new bridges, box culverts,pipe culverts and foot bridges. For local traffic on the major town centres along the project road, the works will incorporate construction of service roads. 3 2.2. Design Concept: The new pavement construction shall include: Asphalt concrete surfacing (50mm) throughout the main carriageway, with 150mm Dense Bitumen Macadam Base, 150mm cement or lime improved gravel sub-base, and a variable thickness of natural material improved subgrade, Road pavement width 7.0m, with shoulders of 2m wide on the outer and 1m wide on the inner side and Single seal surface treatment to main carriageway. The design of the roadworks is as per the road design manuals considering environmental, social and safety issues. The project has been packaged into two lots. Lot 1: Dualling of Kenol – Sagana Road (A2) which is approximately 47km ending 2kms after Sagana Town and Lot 2: Dualling of Sagana-Marua Road (A2) which is approximately 36km long ending at Marua (Junction with B21). 2.3. Project Phases: The project is anticipated to have three phases as per the normal project cycle; a) Pre project phase where Project plans are prepared and approved, stakeholders are consulted, information on the proposed project disseminated, community sensitization is undertaken and land acquisition is implemented especially for the interchange sites that might require some minimal land for the loops, and project management teams are formed. b) Project Phase where actual road construction works will be undertaken, environmental &social safeguards interventions implemented for the support of the communities during the construction works e.g. environmental [protection, HIV /AIDS mainstreaming, Road safety awareness, grievance redress, among others are rolled out and monitored. c) Post Project Phase where the project is commissioned for public use, post project measures like tree planting propagated, corporate social responsibility activities implemented and close-out evaluation of social and environmental issues is done. 2.4. Land Requirement The project as designed is going to be implemented as a dual carriageway within the existing road reserve which is free of encumbrances. Minor realignments will be done where absolutely necessary and will require land to be gazetted, and compulsorily acquired and compensated before its utilized. For the markets, the counties will provide land for the additional market sheds, secure the loop roads and facilitate a good working environment during the construction works. 3. PROJECT IMPACTS 3.1. The project road is classified as a class A road as per the Kenya Gazette Supplement Number Four (Legislative supplement No.2) of 22nd January 2016. As such, the project corridor of 60 metres for the construction of the road (including the sufficient road reserve) will include activities that give rise to resettlement including: i. Expanding the existing road to accommodate dual carriage way with proper two lane facility and shoulders Improve the horizontal alignment at selected locations to reduce sharp curves and thereby provide safe driving conditions, ii. Widen, repair or reconstruct damaged bridges and culverts including construction of new drainage structures iii. Provide service roads and cycle lanes, especially in the town centres iv. Provision of Interchanges at major junctions at Makutano and Marua. v. Provide space for relocation of the many utilities like water, electricity, sewer, cable, and space for safe turning off the carriageway into the highly populated residential areas along the project road. 3.2. Considering that the construction activities for dualling of Kenol-Sagana-Marua that will occur on the 60 meter road corridor will give rise to resettlement as it requires land acquisition, physical displacement of people, loss of shelter, loss of assets, loss of income sources and livelihoods, and restriction of access to 4 economic resources on sections where there shall be re-alignment, where there will be interchanges, and where the few roadside vendors will be required to relocate off the road reserves to structured markets. Those to be affected will include land owners, businesses, farmers as well as public utilities. • The RAP generally identified a total of 817 structure claimants with 2341 assets. There are 1,268 land parcels to be affected by the project. The assets range from vacant land, residential houses, domestic out buildings including stores, cattle sheds, pit latrines, trees and crops. In addition, a Cut- off date for eligibility during preparation of the project was 8th December 2014. This was agreed upon at the consultative forums as the cut-off date and was widely publicized at the public meetings and during the household survey and the assets inventory exercise. • Impact areas for the road will be concentrated along the road corridor and specifically from Sagana to Marua where an extra 20 meters will be acquired to meet the standard of 60 metres from 40 metres that is currently existing. The road’s affected administrative areas lies within the 14 Locations in Embu, Kirinyaga, Murang’a and Nyeri Counties. • The RAP has established that the need for dualling of Kenol-Marua road including the envisaged interchanges will affect a total of 868 households including 150 female and 718 male headed households and 1,747 female PAPs and 1,695 male PAPS. The affected households. Entities are administratively distributed as follows: Muranga County – 17, Kirinyaga County – 415, County Embu – 13 and Nyeri County – 423. • The impacted properties include 108.32 Hectares of land, structures measuring 878,142.7 Ft 2, 98.4 Hectares of crops and 30,043 trees for the whole alignment.

  • Mutira Mission (1907-2011): the Birth of a Christian Empire in East Africa
    Mutira Mission (1907-2011): the birth of a Christian empire in East Africa Julius Gathogo Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Kenyatta University, Mombasa Campus, Kenya Abstract The tiny Mutira village in the then Ndia Division, Kirinyaga County of Kenya, East Africa, began as a Church Missionary Society (CMS) station, between 1907 and 1908 after Rev AW McGregor bought land from the locals. The mission work could not however take place until the end of 1912, as resistance by some dissatisfied locals forced the European mission team to temporarily abandon Mutira mission and migrated to the neighbouring Kabare and Kigari missions. This article begins by surveying the political history of Kenya, from 1895 when it was made a British protectorate and from 1920 to 1963 when it was made a British colony, and also during its post independence times (1963 onwards). The article sets out on the premise that the birth of Christianity in Africa during the 19th and 20th centuries came after a painful labour. In other words, European missionaries, with the help of a few Africans, who midwifed this painful birth deserve our special attention, as it is through them that a Christian empire was born in Africa. Introduction From the ancient times, east African coast has been visited by sailors, merchants and traders from the East. In particular, the fleets of the Phoenicians and of King Solomon frequented east African shores. The book of first Kings in 1 Kings 10: 22 is a clear testimony to the aforesaid statement: For the king [Solomon] had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with the fleet of Hiram.

  • The Children and Youth Empowerment Centre (CYEC), Nyeri
    The Children and Youth Empowerment Centre (CYEC), Nyeri. The Centre is located approximately 175 kilometers north of Nairobi on the outskirts of Nyeri town, the administrative headquarters of both Nyeri East District and Kenya’s Central Province. CYEC is an initiative of the national program for street dwelling persons and is intended to play a central role in the innovation of holistic and sustainable solutions for the population of street dwelling young people in Kenya. The Pennsylvania State University has been involved with the CYEC since 2009. Students from both the Berks and Main campuses of Penn State have focused on areas including bio-medical engineering, architectural engineering, teaching/literacy, and agriculture to help the CYEC. At the Center we have participated in constructing a green house, a drip irrigation center, creating books for the children, conducting various types of research, and much more. In 2010 the CYEC asked if Penn State would focus on the creation of an Eco-Village in Lamuria, a sustainable and eco-friendly village where the street children could go once they have reached adulthood to work and participate in a community environment and economy. Under the direction of Janelle Larson and Sjoerd Duiker, the 497C Agricultural Systems in East Africa class was The undeveloped Eco-Village site created at the Main campus. Our class consisted of only (2010) six students (five of whom were able to travel to Kenya) and met once every other Friday for two hours. This specific course focused on conducting research on agricultural production in semi-arid regions of east Africa, culminating with an opportunity for application through on-site assessment work in Kenya.
