A Second Port for Kenya In 1977: A feasibility study carried out by Renardet-Sauti & commissioned by the then Ministry of Power & Communications projected that: o

The Port of Mombasa would soon be overwhelmed by the growing cargo handling needs of Kenya and the countries of the region served by the port; In 1977, Renardet-Sauti, a Swiss firm of consulting engineers carried out a feasibility study initiated by then Ministry of Power and Communications to identify a suitable site for a second port in Kenya. Refer to the African Studies Centre in Leiden site; Identified Manda Bay near Lamu Island as a suitable location and a potential site on the Kenya coast for setting up of a second port.

Why the Manda Bay Site?  

 

The Renardet-Sauti study identified Manda Bay in Lamu as the most ideal site for Kenya’s second port. The Manda Bay site is to the west of Pate Island, well away from Lamu town which is a Unesco-protected world heritage site and free from the limitations of Mombasa in terms of navigation and operating draft. The site is immediately upwards of the Magogoni Naval Base The site offers a splendid, sheltered deep-water harbour and extensive areas of level land for development where new economic, industrial and business zones could be created at relatively low cost, provided that adequate hinterland communications were established, Manda Bay Port could become a basis for a new growth pole of considerable long-term potential.

Agreement between GORS & SPLM On 9 Jan. 2005: The Government of The Republic of The Sudan and The SPLA/M signed the Comprehensive Peace Agreement  It became patently clear that a large amount of cargo destined to, and going out of Southern Sudan, would soon require to be handled by the port of Mombasa as Southern Sudan was reconstructed and developed;  Opening-up of Lamu for use by Southern Sudan has been seen as a viable alternative to Mombasa.

Access to Ethiopian Market  





Ethiopia is a huge market comprising over 80 million people; Though Ethiopia and Kenya have been good friends over many years, trade between the two countries has been minimal because of lack of reliable infrastructure connectivity; Ethiopia is land locked. It has over the years relied on the ports of Massawa in Eritrea and Djibouti. In the last few years, Ethiopia has lost the use of Massawa following the war with Eritrea. The port of Djibouti has been tested to the limit by the growing needs of Ethiopia. Lamu could be an alternative port for Ethiopia as well.

Creation of a Multi-purpose Transport Corridor and Complementary Infrastructure The Inter-Ministerial Team felt that while increasing economical utilization of land resources there was need and proposed for:  The creation of a multipurpose transport and communication corridor consisting of a standard gauge railway line, a super highway, an oil pipeline, and a fibre-optic cable be constructed to link Lamu to Juba and Addis Ababa.

MoT-led LCD Inter-Ministerial Task-Force An Inter-ministerial Committee (IMC) chaired by the PS, Ministry of Transport and Technical Working Group (TWG) was formed made-up of: – –

Ministry of Transport Office of the President Office of the Prime Minister Ministry of Finance Ministry of Planning and National Development Attorney-General’s Office/State Law Office Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ministry of Roads Ministry of Public Works Ministry of Lands Ministry of Regional Development Authorities Ministry of Information and Communications Ministry of Industrialization Ministry of Trade Ministry of Energy Ministry of Environment Ministry of Agriculture Kenya Railways Corporation KPA Kenya – Southern Sudan Liaison Office (KESSULO) NEPAD and TARDA Ministerial Taskforce



In addition, as Southern Sudan is increasingly becoming a major producer of oil, a merchant oil refinery be constructed near the Lamu Port to serve the needs of the region as well as those of any potential clients from around the world;



Additionally, that a regional international airport be built near the port and a free trade zone similar to Dubai be established at Lamu Port.



Finally, proposed that an ultra-modern tourist resort similar to Sun City of South Africa be developed at Lamu to boost tourism.
