reports by the then MoR and KRB was in most cases uncoordinated and resulting in various reports for the same content in different formats for different purpose.

The then Provincial and District Roads Engineers’ found themselves searching paper files, compiling and transmitting the same data many times. This meant that the reports often contained different figures for the same period of time and many inaccuracies.

INTRODUCTION – Cont’dIn 2004 and in an effort to address some of these

challenges, the then MoR, KRB and the Consultants under the SIDA Funded Roads 2000 Nyanza Programme began to formulate a system of compiling the data and producing the required reports in a customised system. This customised system is what over the years has evolved to what is now the RMS.

The first version of RMS(RMMS 3.0) in Nyanza Province, currently the Counties of Kisumu, Siaya, Homabay, Kisii and Migori. RMMS was also used in Roads 2000 Central Kenya Phase 1 (AfD)

INTRODUCTION – Cont’dKeRRA adopted the RMMS as it’s Planning,

Management and reporting tool for all maintenance works in FY2009/10. KeNHA & KURA started using the system in FY2010/11.

The system has undergone improvements up to the current version 5.0. With available local capacities this has not been a challenge over the years

Going forward it is our intention to make the system web based and integrate it with GIS data.
