Civil engineers ni kubaya

[SIZE=7]Cement sale falls by 5.4 million bags.[/SIZE]

[li]Slow consumption of cement means fewer jobs, lower investments in the construction sector and hence lower spending in purchase for construction projects.[/li][li]This is a continuation of the slump that characterised the prolonged electioneering period last year that saw many delay investment hoping 2018 would be a better year[/li][/ul]

Institute of Quantity Surveyors of Kenya chairman Peter Kariuki called for an urgent review of the interest rate capping, saying banks preferred to lend the government and not investors deemed risky borrowers.
He observed that most investors were unwilling to spend high amounts of money due to the recently introduced 0.05 percent transactional tax on money transfers above Sh500,000.
Mr Omwenga said increased taxes announced last June were also a major impediment to development since they increased the cost of living, reducing the amount of money available for other investments in the construction sector.
Association of Construction Managers of Kenya chairman Nashon Okowa, however, blamed the fall in local cement consumption on uncontrolled imports from China for public projects.

Perhaps its because all the major construction projects have been given to the Chinese, and the Chinese are importing all their cement?

That’s a bigger issue because all jobs imeenda kwa m Chinese… But here the game changer was the tax and banks transaction levy introduced… Naona by the time jubilee wamalize kazi regardless ulisomea nini tutapatana in the streets… So saaaad

Last week Nilikuwa Kampala road inda and saw a first class mechanical engineer kwa muhindi earning 30k…halafu kutoka job anasearchiwa Kama terrorist kwa mlango…Uhuru has reduced Kenya to a begging nation

This negative energy itakuua kijana. Take care usishikwe na depression

kwa Muhindi search lazima, guy he signed terms and condition.

hii najua mtakutana, alot of them will result to gambling, and i know it will be a high season for you.

Government project are supposed to boost the local economy, in terms of labor and acquisition of raw material. thats why Pres Obama was pressurized to commission the Keystone pipeline, when the US economy was under recession, so as to give an impetus to the economy.
when you have foreign contractors getting such huge projects, and end up importing labor and raw materials(cement, ballast, steel) from mother country, all what you are doing is building their country’s economy.
Then, you turn around and borrow money from the same people.

Nko kanada

Ni kubaya msee. You can tell watu hawana pesa kwa mfuko by their drinking habits. Nowadays by the time ulipe bills zako zote, you practically have nothing left. EABL watuambie shortfall yachupa wameuza ni ngapi. You will be shocked

Am on the ground kijana…naandika kiru nimeona… Right now napitia gikosh

But then again govt uses such tactics when the civilian population gets wayward and start having funnyman tendencies equaling to treason and might even plot against the govt. In short Kenyans have to be tamed before they go rogue, hii pesa ya sgr ingemwagwa kwa local economy ingecreate billionaires wengi at the govts cost. So such big tenders will continue going to foreign contractors as a security feature

This makes sense lakini huyu @teamtalk sijui anaonaje hadi first class mechanical degree. Labda wamezi hang kwa shingo.

afadhali hiyo pesa imwagwe locally maybe job ingecreatiwa in one way or another kuliko kupea wenye wanatupa loan na bado tuwalipe interest??

One of the big 4 pillars is manufacturing, here is where Uhuru should anchor this pillar.

which local contractor could handle sgr and the timelines?

na ni mara ngapi tutasema mtu aseme yeye ndio hana pesa si ati watu hawana pesa

Who else has noted that @teamtalk is an alarmist and a pessimist and full of negative energy almost all his posts regarding the performance of the govt? hatukatai ni kubaya lakini not everything is leaning towards the negative side.

Unaenda gikosh kuchomelea nguo nini?

Team talk = F Mungai
