  • TOR-Nyali-Bridge-TA-Phase-II
    REPUBLIC OF KENYA THE NATIONAL TREASURY PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS (PPP) UNIT TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR TRANSACTION ADVISORY SERVICES FOR THE PROPOSED 2nd NYALI BRIDGE PROJECT DECEMBER 2019 1 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 Vision 2030, Kenya’s national long-term development strategy covering the period 2008 to 2030, places emphasis on rebuilding and creating the much- needed infrastructure in the country’s journey towards poverty reduction as well as social, political and economic transformation. However, in a time of constrained public budgets, all competing with development pressures, and rising public expenditure demands from the current and new devolved structures, the Government of Kenya (GOK) is facing fiscal challenges. 1.2 Responding to this challenge, GOK, through its National Treasury, has made infrastructure development and public service provision through Public Private Partnerships (PPP) a priority mechanism that can help it address the major infrastructure funding gap and achieve the benefits of successful PPP investments including: substantial private investment; transfer of significant risk to the private sector; improving access to infrastructure; creating higher quality assets with better operation and maintenance; and helping achieve better efficiency. See Annex 1 for an overview of the PPP process in Kenya. 1.3 The proposed 2nd Nyali Bridge project, hereinafter referred to as “the Project” or “the Bridge” is located in Mombasa County which is the second largest city in Kenya after the capital, Nairobi and Kenya’s only seaport. Mombasa Island and the North Coast Mainland have expanded rapidly over the past decade, and the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics projected that the local population of Mombasa City was estimated to be approximately 1.35 million people in 2018.

  • The Drowned Valleys on the Coast of Kenya
    THE DROWNED VALLEYS ON THE COAST OF KENYA. By H. L. SIKES, B.A., B.E., H.INST. C.E., F.G.S. In his report on the Geology of the East Africa Protectorate .(Col. Rep. Misc. No. 45, Cd. 3828, London, 1908), Mr. H. B. Maufe pomted out that the tidal creeks on the coast of Kenya, the rock floors of which are far below sea level, originated as land valleys, which are now •• drowned." He also indicated that the sub-aerial erosion which produced or rejuvenated these valleys must have taken .place subse• quent to the formation of the raised coral reefs of Pleistocene age which form the existing coastal strip including most of Mombasa Island. Although much is still obscure, light has been thrown in recent years on the oscillations of relative level between sea and land on .the .East African coast. Amongst the writings which bear on this matter are Stockley's report on the" Geology of the Zanzibar Protec• tora.te " (London, 1928) with the associated report on the" Palaeon• tology of the Zanzibar Protectorate " by various specialists (London, 1927), Monograph No. IV of the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow Univer• sity, containing various reports on geological collections from the coast lands of Kenya Colony made by Miss McKinnon W0011, and various papers and other publications recording the results of research work in other parts of the world on the relative level of land and sea during Quaternary times, the factors influencing coral growth, the solution of limestones by sea water and other phenomena. Borings carried out from time to time for the purpose of obtaining information relating to foundations for bridges and other structures, and to find water, have yielded evidence which is not without significance in the consideration of the history of these submerged valleys.

Email: [email protected] 2 S. Diepeveen Politics in everyday Kenyan street-life: the people’s parliament in Mombasa, Kenya The presence of politics in everyday experiences is not new to the study of politics in Africa, located in popular arts, culture and dialogue. Yet, most often, attention to political possibilities in the everyday appears preoccupied with their relationship to rule and authority, making it difficult to imagine political significance outside of an influence on forms of dominance. Hannah Arendt’s early political thought provides an alternative way to imagine politics in everyday publics, separating politics from rule and locating it in public speech and action. Drawing on Arendt’s ideas around political significance of publics, this paper examines the nature and scope of political possibilities of a street parliament in Mombasa, Kenya. It reveals how possibilities for Arendtian political action are present in informal practices of public discussion, which are both contingent upon and compromised by competing interests, including elite and partisan competition.

The city is a regional cultural, economic and tourism hub. The city is the host to the Coast Province Administration. Mombasa’s large deepwater port and international airport make it an important trading centre due to its strategic position. The city centre is located on Mombasa Island and sprawls to the surrounding mainlands. The island is separated from the mainland by two creeks: Tudor Creek and Kilindini Harbour. It is connected to the mainland to the north by the Nyali Bridge, to the south by the Likoni Ferry and to the west by the Makupa Causeway, alongside which runs the Kenya-Uganda Railway. The port serves both Kenya and countries of the interior, linking them to the Ocean. The exact founding date of the city is unknown; Swahili scholars place the founding of Mombasa as 900 A.D.
