This is an excellent project for all involved. At the same time, all parties need to assume responsibilities, the last thing China wanted is being accused setting up a debt trap. Only China wanted to help Africa.... some other countries just talk BS.
It is not just infrastructure more important is sharing of knowledge now. So, now the local people are more skilful and can take on a new project and build an even better thing. It is just excellent to see.
Good to know that they have not neglected the community like helping the villages with clean water, new schools have been built and etc. The SGR is impressive. Kenya is on my tavel list now and will want to visit Kenya soon.
Almost..Kenya has afterall 100yrs experience of running a functioning railway. Thus it was the government of Kenyas miscalculation, to sign off a 5yr maintanance and operations deal. This measure by our government trully shortchanged my people. However, the Kenya-Sino relations should be encouraged at all costs. The SGR Kenya is trully a well constructed infrustructure with enomouse potential. It is on Kenyans now to draw benefits of this investment for years to come. Ahsante
26000 local jobs, 100 local firms producing 40% of the materials used, CSR projects for all the local communities the project passes and a brand new railway line corridor to enhance trade between Kenya and Uganda. What's not there to like. Thanks to all the concerned.
Why are people doubting what China is doing? Chinese thinking is different from others To us if I am doing well, I want my close friends and family to do well too
Good project but arguably they should have simply upgraded and converted the existing line. The money saved could then have been used on further rail extensions. The big concern is not repayment of the debt but rather the management of the new line. The old line was mismanaged and not maintained properly. Will this new line suffer the same fate?
Saw some ungrateful narrow minded really makes me sad, this is part of your infrastructure. If you can do better, just do it by yourself. Do more, talk less. Complain less.
@yy l not about affording its about the use. They are cargo trains. The railway line costs billions of dollars so whats the cost of bullet trains compared. Nothing
There is another meaning. Quote " means of travelling or of transporting goods, such as roads or railways. "a city providing excellent road and rail communications" synonyms:links, connections, services, routes "the city has excellent road and rail communications""
3:15 so only 45% of people working for the project were locals. that's a pretty bad rate. it shouldn't be china helping Kenya it should be just assisting them.
So the ideal way for this big project to be done is to get it for free, like many ppl lying on the road side to wait for some food drop from the sky. Very typical africa style: ungratefulness...
Local motives are 1970's Tech, the Rail is unwelded so that everytime it has a crickety clack like the 1900's coal trains..All this for 500b, what a waste
Those locomotives are type DF11- for passenger transport , DF- 8B -for freight, those locomotives took China a decade to develop and improve with efforts of thousands men and women. Yes they're not electricified locomotive, but you can't build electricified railway when you don't have stable energy supplies can you? But we can proudly say that they're the best of their kind. And the railway only took 3.8 billion dollars, not even 1%of what your claimed. In Britain, build every kilometer high speed railway costs 0.393 billion dollars, that means 472km Mombasa-Nairobi railway could cost up to 185.5 billion dollars, equals almost 3 years of Kenya's GDP. If you want nice things, you gonna have to work harder, no one's gonna just give to you. China has been generous enough.
@@theturkanabus3610 Are you stupid or what? Kenya is a developing nation and we need to improve our infrastructure if we are to industrialize. Relying on roads will cost us more than SGR if you factor in: construction, maintenance, road accidents, medical rehabilitation of accident victims etc. The British understood the importance of connecting East Africa with Railways so should we.
This narative of blowing your own trumpet will not work in Kenya dear Chinese...for some reason the Chinese think Kenyans are a bunch of unlearned ignorant fools. But we are not and we see this railway project for what it is. A loss making venture out to benefit the chinese movement of goods from point of manufacture under the one belt initiative at the cost of our taxes. You give us a loan and dictate the terms of operation. You do not promote local industries,you come with all the raw materials for building the damn railway. You employ your own to run the railway,you subject Kenyan SGR employees to racism and discrimination and slave like conditions like whipping errant employees. For every day the railway has been in operation you have been stealing from us 1million KES in ticket refunds. You run the damn thing at 1billion a month,translating to 12billion a year then you have the audacity to tell us you made only 1 billion a year. Translating to losses of 11billion to the tax payer,not counting the 360million you steal per year. You think Kenyans are stupid? You think we do not see this? You think we do not know? You think we are happy??? Pay a million Kenyans to sing praises of the SGR like you just did on this video,but on the ground,our feelings as Kenyans have not changed towards the chinese.
Nais Kaurrai I think you just have a personal problem that you need to address. Nobody even the USA can develop alone and yes they have the biggest debt to. You can’t blame the Chinese for your ignorance nonsense especially tribalism corruption hate and governments that can’t think and start creating stuff. Keep on hating while others are progressing
Biggest mistake in kenyas history that has put as in serious debt.The old line which connects most towns in kenya needed no land compensation and could have easily been upgraded.It now lays waste.
This is an excellent project for all involved. At the same time, all parties need to assume responsibilities, the last thing China wanted is being accused setting up a debt trap. Only China wanted to help Africa.... some other countries just talk BS.
Kenya looks so beautiful and quite wealthy too.
Thank you China for everything. Even in a thousand years we wouldn't have such infrastructure. Though it is expensive, we truly appreciate.
It is not just infrastructure more important is sharing of knowledge now. So, now the local people are more skilful and can take on a new project and build an even better thing. It is just excellent to see.
@@dennish5150 true, I agree with you Dennis.
and the price is cheaper than any other competitors at the same project quality.
The best thing about China is that the contract involved supply of locomotives, wagons,engines and skills transfer to locals
Recently having travelled to Mombasa by SGR..the experience gave me to give the leaders those top marks for the progress.
Nice! Thanks for your video!
Best wishes to Kenya brother from China!
Good to know that they have not neglected the community like helping the villages with clean water, new schools have been built and etc. The SGR is impressive. Kenya is on my tavel list now and will want to visit Kenya soon.

There is alot of ignorance in Kenya courtecy of the 8 4 4 shytstem.

Keep going Kenya. May you prosper uniformly.

Dont worry about us Kenyans...We just like talking a lot....we are everywhere in the internet.

Kindly our Chinese friends,complete the sgr to kisumu,malaba and kampala
At least now we know there is no money to get it to kisumu.
Why cant we fund it ourselves. ..where do taxpayers money go
Dont believe kenyan media lies
The Ameriken. Ppl don’t want more loans anyway. The railway will continue when this country can afford it.

Kenya has already enough power. Largest wind power plant in Africa. And the first geothermal power and largest in the world.
The meaning "commuting" NOT "communication"
There is another meaning.

Oh David L mr know it all, you are wrong.
3:15 so only 45% of people working for the project were locals. that's a pretty bad rate. it shouldn't be china helping Kenya it should be just assisting them.
It takes time to get experience; the next rail will be more Africa workers.
Maybe you wanna try setting up a company overseas and help the local to run your company?
@@businessuse5064 Man don't you agree with my statement? If I had the knowledge financial means china has, id definitely do it.

Diesel locomotive it is a traditional technology
The Kenyan SGR is designed to accomodate electrification once Kenya has enough power production on it's local grid.
