I am sure they are saving the SGR for the last. You have been prepared mentally with good news-the avocado exports, JKIA-James Gichuru expressway etc. Now prepare to shout your throats hoarse once the SGR loan to Kisumu is signed.
Kenya and China on Friday signed project delivery agreements worth Sh226 billion for the Konza Data Centre and Smart Cities Project by telecommunications giant Huawei and the JKIA-James Gichuru expressway.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is in China for the second Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) forum, witnessed the signing of the deals that will be fulfilled through concessional financing and Public Private-Partnership (PPP).
The Konza project deal is worth Sh175 billion while the expressway project, by the China Road and Bridge Corporation, is worth Sh51 billion.
It seems Huawei will be heavily involved in Konza. That will be the jolt needed for the project to accelerate. These Mongols don’t play when it comes to implementing projects fast.
Overall, I add $2.26bn to “economic multiplier list” of projects that will take the economy past $200bn GDP in 5 years.
Uhuru is getting wiser kiasi…if all the loans Kenya took were like these two tungekuwa mbali saana…easing Mombasa road traffic jam under PPP and creating jobs at Konza are two necessities…
The loan for Naivasha Kisumu was signed a few hours after Uhurus arrival in China. Details will be shared later. Na kuta mwanakijiji hapa ako kwa delegation,
Such deals cannot be signed chini ya maji. It is politically too radioactive to play around with. Infact wakificha halafu ijulikane, then kutawaka moto. I doubt kama imesainiwa.
Your penis must be fully erect now after many decades of being flaccid.You old guards are happy when get indebted and the money loaned can’t be accounted for.Shindwe nyinyi
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Also signed was the operation and maintenance service agreement for the Nairobi-Naivasha segment of the standard gauge railway (SGR).
My ONLY contention here is…,
After almost 60years of independence, and having ran a fuctional though currently outdated railway for 10 decades, WHY DOES THE GoK encourage FOREIGNERS TO MAINTAIN AND SERVICE OUR LOCAL RAILWAY??:mad:
