- KENYA N-N SGR PHASE 2A, Photography on July 25, 2018. We hope more Kenyans could know how the railway is built. China do not export politics ,revolutions etc. We Chineses here in Kenya are helping Kenyans to build a better Kenya, We bring railway technologys to Kenya and achieve a win-win situation.
Kazi Nzuri. Kila la Kheri KENYA. Tanzania na sisi tumeanza, tuombeeni tufike mbali zaidi. Sisi Watanzania bado tunatambua kuwa ninyi ndio Mmetutangulia katika SGR, na huu kwenu ni mwendelezo tu. Uganda nao nadhani wapo mbioni; Rwanda na Burundi Sina hakika. Lakini Sisi sote ni Wamoja. Tuijenge AFRIKA MASHARIKI YETU sote.
Ili nasi siku moja tuwe na Uwezo wa Kusaidia Mataifa mengine.
Swaamit Is-haaq tofauti iliopo SGR ya Kenya ni mkopo mtupu kutoka China Tanzania inajenga kwa pesa yake yenyewe

Actually the google translator is very good. I like their English - Spanish translator very much. However, the one for Swahili is very poorly done. I think it was done by a non Swahili speaker. I am in the process of creating a better Swahili - English and Swahili - Spanish translator.
Jameni mwenzengu nafikiri hapo umepotea kidogo. Tanzania haina uwezo kujenga SGR bila mkopo. Wala sio Tanzania peke yake, nchi nyingi bara Africa. Actually in all EME (Emerging Market Economies) in and outside Africa they all relly heavily on these tradional infrustructure funding sources; government budgets, international donors and banks. www.theeastafrican.co.ke/business/Tanzania-secures-SGR-loan-from-Stanchart/2560-4761190-lejnj/index.html

Go Kenya may God bless you more.what a project it is going to be a wonderland for turists , brother from Ethiopia.
This is absolutely amazing.. I personally think it is the very good time we stand for our country Kenya and fight out corruption in every possible ways.. Thanks to China
I have been coming to Kenya since 2005 and planning to move there later this year. Kenya has improved so much since I first started going. When the railroad went from Nairobi to Mombasa was finished, it took so many of the big trucks off of Mombasa Road. That was a major help and takes my time in half when driving to the coast. I'm very happy that the beautiful country of Kenya, which I will soon call home, is updating the infrastructure. This will help in so many ways, improving lives and creating jobs. Now, if Kenya would do something about the ridiculously high prices of buying a car there. A car in Kenya costs three times the price of what it does in the USA. I absolutely cannot understand that a bit. In the USA, you can buy a Land Rover for the same price of a Toyota Belta in Kenya. This needs to be the next area looked at to improve.
I know... though it is a measure taken to reduce the number of cars in the country since the existing infrastructure is already strained ... However, if they continue to invest in infrastructure at the current rate then your wish will soon be granted
@@rawnsleychege5033 I'm very happy for that. I've also just recently found out that Volkswagen is now making the Polo Vivo in Thika and Mobius is building in Nairobi. Both cars are about 1.6m ksh. This is a huge step forward. Kenya has the most wonderful people, beautiful land and amazing food. (Nyama choma ni zawadi ya Mungu. 😉)
@@Metalbass1979 haha i can see you tried out the Kenyan BBQ while washing down with some Swahili words,Congratulations!! you are now Kenyan... Ya true they have... in fact the government is about to enforce a law that bars importation of second hand cars. They have stated they will start by barring those above 1500cc then later those below. This move will encourage manufacturers to set plants in Kenya as importing a new car can be quite expensive. Which totally make sense, a plant to serve the entire East African population will be a win win for everyone.
@@rawnsleychege5033 Nafahamu kiswahili kidogo. Mke wangu anatoka Kenya. Married since 2007. I've been coming since 2005 and moving there this year. I'm really hoping Toyota will build an affordable Hilux 4x4 in Kenya someday soon.
@@Metalbass1979 Thats great! if that is done that would really great, the majority of cars in Kenya are Toyota
This is spectacular, I am a happy African and a proud Kenyan 🇰🇪🇰🇪
Great video, great project..This will transform Kenya.
Great n inspiring video........hii ifikie the westerns wajue kutangulia sio kufika. Hatujawekelewa mawe we are still growing
Good Job,
We are in progress Tanzania.
China the great Super Power we Africans support you for all your wonderful works for Africans
Humble Oduro Martins
great Africa continent and great African people
briliant future must go over there in next 50
years ：）
Honourable Mr president Uhuru kenyatta thanks for the development that you are bringing to this country and continue supporting ruto course we will stand with him till his terms are over. And please may he inherit the spirit of development that you are really bringing to us. May God almighty remember you in your work
My favourite means of transport from Nairobi to Mombasa and after completion to other parts of my beautiful country Kenya
West: Africa, the land without hope。
China: Africa, land full of hope。
Full of hope for the Chinese? Yes!
Ron Gee you obviously have not done much world travelling. There has been an unabated stream of foreigners going to Africa which is not a country but a continent.
congolese.
l doubt there will be elections in congo. We are exactly 2 months away ( dec 23) and nothing is ready logistically, financially or otherwise. The gov't is insisting on using electronic voting in a country with no electricity, poor internet connection and a large segment of voters that has never touched a computer screen. lt does not look good unfortunately.
Many congolese including myself believe that the real endgame since the fall of Mobutu has been to break up Congo like the Balkans a project by western powers using our eastern neighbors to help create chaos in the mining areas.As for Ramazani, he's just a weak fellow with no power base being used in Kabila's game. The only solution in Congo is revolution. That means ridding not only Kabila but his entire organisation must be put on trial for their crimes as happened in Nuremberg. When Zaire fell we lost our national sovreignty to Rwanda and it has never been fully restored, Kabila being the biggest obstacle.
The only things China can give to Africa countries are infrastructures , goods , healthcare , schools , higher standard of living , friendship and happiness.
Wonderful project I must say... Tujenge Kenya next up nax
that's a great project that will transform Kenya to great economic growth, let the prophets of doom who complain about the price know that you pay nothing when you do nothing
Infrastructure is one of the most important thing for a country. People complain but they are forgetting about all the money being stolen in Kenya, scandal after scandal. Even though it is expensive, we can see the product. Unlike all the money scandals Kenya has had with no one being held accountable. The stolen money would be enough to pay for this project.
beautiful music! and scenery.
Kenya is beautiful
good updates. great job
Kudos to Kenya i love you guys
what a wonderful video...
I will never go by road to Nairobi again. So excited.
How will you travel from Murang'a, Nyeri or Kiambu to Nairobi? By air maybe
@@ralph839 maybe she lives in kisumu or mombasa. its clear from her statement that she live in a city/town/village along the railway.
@@TheTororist It's a stupid VANITY rail line. It would have made a lot of sense to build a 6 lane highway from Mombasa to Nairobi to Malaba for half the price! The Chinese want the Mombasa port because we can't repay the loaned money. It's stupid!!
@@ralph839 i stumbled on you're comment on dr mumbis page and i'm surprised you're regurgitating falsehoods and half truths. rail is the only way to efficiently and cost effectively evacuate cargo from the hinterland and transport imports upcountry and to other countries. passenger rail is just a by the way and not the reason it was built. and they are building a highway from mombasa to nairobi FYI. i think they're still negotiating with betchel for a ppp model
@@TheTororist My dear friend, I am not against SGR. I am against paying for a Model T the price of a Lamborghini, that's my problem. SGR is a flawed project economically. It is not viable. A lot of things are being assumed that are fake. Why are transporters still preferring to use the road??
Glad myself a member of this phrase
Amazing 👌
Looks good.
Great development project by the Chinese Government for Kenya. I hope Kenya is able to pay back the loans on this development. If not Kenya will be forced to give up control of ports or airport or rail services to the Chinese government until loan is paid back!
Thanks you Shawn for the update
Loving this.
Nice development with a high price to pay.
I am going to repeat this post for all of those that complain about the cost of a railroad.
In the early 1800s America spent what today would be Billions and Billions of dollars on building railroad after railroad after railroad.
Because of all those railroads Coal mines and oil wells prospered because they could get their coal to cities and oil to refineries.
Because of this Steel mills popped up and were busy because railroads could get them the huge supplies of coal and Iron ore they needed.
Because of this, Machine shops, shipyards and eventually automobile plants were able to flourish because they had a good supply of steel that could be brought to them by rail.
The automobile then revolutionized everything and made the economy boom even more.
The point is yes infrastructure is expensive but it's benefits can be extremely rewarding.
It's like an automobile. It is very expensive compared to buying a loaf of bread or buying a bicycle to get around. But if one owns an automobile you can then start a taxi service and make lots of money to support your family. Or you could use it to transport goods to a store you start tat becomes a success. Or you could use it to get back and forth to a very good paying job that is far away from your house.
In the same way railroads, highways, power plants, are all very expensive but they are necessary if you wish to really move forward. This has been true in America, Europe, Japan, China and it will be no different in Africa.
megakids spot on ,tell him.
The old metre gauge railway lasted over 120 years it will be unlikely this Chinese one will last as long. The old line suffered from lack of maintenance towards the end that's what caused the problems. Just imagine one of these trains derailing on the elevated sections? Just does not bare thinking about.Other African countries have bought Chinese rail rolling stock and quality has been a problem.
Never put money on the first place, think about those devoted people.
In this climate changi g world the traditional way ofmlife will be the one that survivies; don't you realise we are going to have to go "post industria;l" becasue if we don't we are all toast.
@megakids
Wow... It shall never be well with all the looters in Nigeria government past and present that. Thanks to this Kenya government and other Africa countries that want the betterment of her citizens.
I agree my brother or sister..
Can't wait to use this thing to Kisumu and then Busia, journey time to my rural home will be greatly slashed!
Superb.
Outstanding
We thank you Chinese people for your unwavering courage to free African people from abuse of the the European gangsters that are corroborating to loot Africa
You are right.. You know i still believe that colonization in Africa never ended. it only changed representatives and approach but they never left.
Blame everyone but yourselves for the state of your countries. That’s right. What a joke.
@@leslied.2475 Very right. I call it colonisation by proxy
@@jimcrawford5039 that's why u r watching coz the truth hurts..keep your thieving hands off Africa's natural resources.
@@aliciafields-worldtravelle8248 China is the new coloniser!
非常不错
Itapunguza vifo barabarani, nice
Walai apo umenena,nakuru -naivasha road is full of trailers...hii itapunguza msongamano wa magari na ajali
my only problem is Kenyans do not know how to construct even a small 1km road....always bringing foreigners to do it....poor Africans when will we evolve
neil nelson there are many local engineers. They will gain experience, and be competent soon.
Very nice video mate. So interesting👍
Didn't know it was such a massive project.
very very NB！
Prongress to grow our be Nation Kenya👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
The beat keeps me witching
HWI HING HWAO...For those of you who didn't understand me, I was telling him that the county askaris have left Githurai. He should come out so that we continue hawking toothbrushes and mutura.
GOOD PROGRESS
It is not selfless dedication to Africa that we Chinese help Africa. We want all the people involved to benefit from it, which is a favorite way of thinking in China. We have helped build railways in Africa, and we hope that improvements in transport facilities will raise the level of economic development in the countries of the continent. As the economic level rises, the people become wealthy and have a strong ability to consume, they can do business with more Chinese and create a larger market together. Perhaps at present, the cost of railway construction for many countries in Africa is still relatively expensive, but this is what you must do to achieve development. Chinese people think that a social system with no guarantee of food and clothing, education, health care, life safety, and unilateral emphasis on Western-style democracy is meaningless. More than 100 years ago, China was threatened by western countries with warships and artillery, signed unequal contracts, colonized by Western countries, and invaded by Japanese armed forces. The whole country became a battlefield, and tens of millions of people died of war and disease. When the People's Republic was founded in 1949, the whole country looked like a ruin. The people's food and clothing have not been solved. A large number of illiterates. At that time, no ordinary people would believe that 70 years later China will achieve the rise of the country. So, I think Africa can do the same, as long as unity, as long as efforts, there is no problem can not be solved.
First to comment on this..............This is a credible job though. so far so good
second
Awesome China now start SGR Uganda to Congo,South Sudan Rwanda.
The best thing about Chinese Contractors or rather foreign, they quote a project, and once approved they deliver timely, Kenyan contractors get corrupted, they take years to tarmac a 100km road. An example is the Kirere-Kamukabi-Mununga-Kangare road. Or the Mombasa rd-Syokimau-Katani-Utawala road, its been a year of bad roads yet less than 6km are tarmaced. Disgraceful.
Good Job！👍
I want a drone also.
Kenya I am very happy to see the progress that has happened and going to continue to happen. HOWEVER I can not help but think of the warning back when the British came to the shores and cut across to what is now called Lake Victoria. The prophecy from Mogo wa Kebiro, I wonder what he would have to say about the Chinese, Sisters and Brothers it is good to welcome and to be friendly, but like Mogo warned treat them with courtesy but remain suspicious of their end goal. President Uhuru Kenyatta, you your self should realize this most of all in protecting the land and people you represent. When the project is finished send them back, remove them from the land, Ngai Blessed the people of Kenya with.
magnificent
old chinese saying
want to get rich？ to build road first！
china ‘ s experience
better get happy, sometimes with less money you can live better, in some ways china is making the same that america did...
Is that a trench in the middle of the park? How are animals going to cross that?I think given the choice of SGR and the animals,i'll choose the animals.
Anytime you got a huge project the best way to pay for it is as Hawaii payed for it rail system 8 -10 billion. The government open a rail fund that separate. And tax all sales 1 penny of a dollar. The amount of sales per day is billion in a few years. And it’s progress the rich or tourist pays more than the citizen. Our were collected about over 300 million a quarter so that about 1.3 billion every year from that penny tax.
Next stage is to electrify. Ethiopia was brave perhaps because they had nothing to lose. They experienced teething troubles due to lack of traction power but came through
Africa get a brilliant future
respects from China...：）
AKO WAPI NDII
nice,the sad truth we are indebting the Chinese. A concerned student
Port of Mombasa is going to the Chinese for this?
How was social environment impact assessment carried out? Did relevant stakeholders participate?
Some locals where the line (will) passes through are still crying that the government is yet to compensate them for the land which was compulsorily acquired. Other have their houses developing cracks following massive explosions.
samuel githika then do nothing and stay in poverty.
My country
It is the vision of China, that is the path to the future. And like most open pathways; the only the courage that is needed, is the courage to take the first step upon that path.
I'm just waiting for the completion starting and completion of the Naivasha-kisumu line then it's goodbye road travel!
Professionalism
a bread cost kshs 50 now from kshs 19
Matako ww
People complain about the price. They should go around to find a low price, or to find free lunch if they can. where? You will pay nothing if you don't do anything. Is it better.
Massive project.
Tom King build on flat land. Just a easy task.
Keep up the good work. But guys should know that Kenyans who do not support the government hate that project and call it unnecessary and inflated.
Gabriel M
Every Kenyan likes the project. It is only the corruption involved in it that we hate because we know it will have to be paid by our children and grandchildren.

Very true, countries often go bankrupt when building railways.
@@gabrielm5026
Japans government experienced a big budget catastrophe when it was spending huge amounts of money to develop it's railroads and industrialize. Even though it was getting lots of investment money from it's private sector. Successful textile mills, mining companies, and ship lines through out Japan as well as the wealthy Emperor invested heavily in rail roads and they got good returns on their investments.
@@gacaptain I also saw a documentary of how Russia built its Trans Siberian railway, the country almost become bankrupt and that is why they were almost defeated by Germans in the first and second world wars. However, the railway helped them to control central Asia and exploit the wealth of minerals in the hinterland. I am sure that once our SGR is complete, people will realize how cheap the project is.
How about kisumu? Is it going to reach there and kisii?
whether you like this government or not this quite a project, what we need to guard against over mortgaging the future of the country. If they can lick corruption, really, anything is possible! Just make sure corrupt leaders dont ascend to power. I think Uhuru has done a pretty decent job despite some questionable decisions he has made!
Are you aware that there are some people whose land was taken up by sgr and were promised compensation in April 2018 who to date have not been paid????
yes，because of the government problem. but they will be paid in the near future
let ndii see these and be adviced the kenya economy i s on good track
Betty ,Kenya's economy is not on good track jaber, Ndii is an economist and he means each and every word he says, which kenya do you leave in? Building roads or railway on credit doesn't make us better, it makes us strain due to repayment by increasing the prices of food products and hence raise cost of living ,are you blind or you just comment for the sake of your free bandles......
Nyako ok ingeyo kaka economy chiedho winj wach ndii.... it's like your salary is 30k and you take a loan of 1m to buy a Benz that brings no income just to keep up with the Joneses!!... mano doko wich rach.!!! 🤔
That's a lie, Kenyan economy is in real trouble. This is a prestige project, very expensive and of little economic value. Major highways first!
Betty the problem of Ndiiiiiiiii.......and his school of prophets of doom,they never give solutions.We have many scholars full of theory.If this wasomaji were real,China would never have arrived.Sida ya Kenya ni hawa watu wa kisungu mingi bila action.
BETTY ACHIENG
David Ndii is not against these projects for your information. He is only concerned with the massive corruption that surrounds them which may trigger the loss of our sovereignty and that of our children's children as a result.
希望非洲人民越来越富有
Kenya we are heading somewhere
You know that scene in that one movie when all the animals attack the train while people are inside.
reading the comments shows Africa will take a long way to know how to take care of themselves first....remember China was in the same situation we are in 50 years ago....
neil nelson I think you have deep misunderstanding of China. The CCP is highly efficient, Africa doesn’t have its counterparts. Voting politics is the worst thing you can have.
惹，其实如果中国只是想要资源根本不用这么大费周章，国家公园里建桥是为了野生动物通过，否则就直接建地上就好了
It's a laughable fact that 1 centimeter of the Nairobi- Naivasha SGR will cost us approximately KES 15,000 😤😤
Drone videography 🤔
中非友誼天長地久
Why Naivasha not Nakuru
At least its visible where Chinese loans go. Not like how it is in Uganda
you can see how the Nairobi National Park was Cut In Half by the railway
But the animals can still pass why are you nt thinking bro
Tsavo was divided into two over 100 years ago and still exists.
how many lanes is the railway project.
Calvince single track
Change Africa first economically then politically towards to whatever direction they would like to chose, it is much better than waiting for Africa to be 100% politically correct before anything like this can be delivered. People, especially the poor, just do not have the luxury to wait for e.g. another 70 years. Corruption is everywhere, which is just a part of life or a part of the running cost, nations should not be stopped from development because of it.
"This was a party political broadcast on behalf of the one party communists People's Republic of China".
Well, I supose there's nothing like sustainable development, asshown here.
David When did western people start to care about Africa? You were colonists, ruined many cultures and enslaved the Africans.
PROPAGANDA VIDEO..PR VIDEO..whichever..WO BU ZAI HU!我不在乎 !
India ran British era steam trains until about 1996. There isn't a cat in hel's chnace of local labour being able to maintain this alien implany anytime soon.
David is it hard? China start building HSR in 2005, 15years later, we have nearly 30,000km. Run and maintained by us.

Come to mombasa and see how people are suffering trash talk is talk even the bussinesmen are facing were you have to clear 50 containers in three days or face demurrage while the container freight yards would give you breathing space of 15 to 20 days to clear your containers which was very god for bussinesmen ask people in voi mitito andie sultan hamud milima kiu athi river practically every town till you reach Nairobi are suffering but the brunt Mombasa so wacha maneno ya penny mbili business yote inakwenda Naivasha i have some who mockingy tell me that business imekwenda kwao call a spade a spade i have scrapped my ten trucks and fired 40 workers so dont tell me broad picture many of my friends have sold their trucks and fired workers broader picture is this we the coastal people defrauded again since first our beaches now our whole economy if they were truthful they should have expanded the roads with half the money and the government would have raked in billions through diesel taxes because of more trucks and all the town's would have expanded with more jobs for everyone but hii siasa ya marginalization ni mbaya kwa kenya mark my words i am an old man take these words of wisdom these selfish short term interests of particular communities will tear Kenya apart you can never trample on communities forever because they will explode this phenomenon is every where we Kenyans forget very quckly remember 2007 a repeat wil be disaster
kenyans want to afford food first si story na infrastructure....we are not all a country of economists
You want donated food ama you want to work for it? ghasia!
food is the only thing on your mind?you're in a sorry state man. really a stain on the pants of intelligence,rubbish!
what are you doing to curb corruption done by your fellow Chinese?
win win ni wewe
the ecosystems here are mourning
The developed world wants Africa to remain a bush so that it caters for their irresponsible practices that hurt the atmosphere. We shall no longer ride donkeys to compensate for the sins of others. We also deserve a good life.
other nations are using electric train...thought you should know, and slowly Chinese are colonizing Africa
They will colonise Africa when we have stupid people like you around. Mamako akileta samaki nyumbani huwa unamwambia "other people are eating pizza, thought you should know". Nyinyi ndo mtafanya tucoloniziwe na ujinga wenu. Other's are busy trying to build this nation wee uko hapa kucomment ujinga.
You can either start a business or invest in a project by raising money through harambee, by saving or borrowing. We chose to borrow so let's live with it, let the project get completed and work hard to pay the loan si kupiga mdomo hapa
electric train means more fare. The best isn’t the suitable for Kenya. If you choose the electric train most people can’t consume it, it’s wasting your money! More thinking less Comparisons!
You can't even pay your electric bills..... And you talking about electric train
Ooko Stephen America mostly uses diesel trains and it has the largest busiest freight railroads in the World. Your economy is going to mostly grow and benefit off of freight rail roads not passenger. This is what will draw industry and commerce into your country not so much passenger trains.
Shot that pile hole you call mouth..
I just came back from Nairobi, the most developped city in central and east Africa. The infrastructure of this city really really sucks. One small county in China is much better than Nairobo. I can't imagine what it could have been like without chinese infrastructure. It will be much worse
Am reading your comment from Brooklyn Ny and there are pot holes everywhere and big rats jumping from every man hole eating abandoned trash so quit bashing my city
Jerry HAN, one county in China could fill the whole population of Kenya. Chinese are over 1.5 billion people, Kenya cannot claim even a fraction of Chinese population. That’s the difference.
WHERE IS DAVID NDII
That man is an enemy of progress just like his icon, Raila Odinga and the entire ODM party
David Ndii and co are sad spirits and honestly with the corrupted mentality that is prevalent across the board and political divide, David Ndii's boses were "left out" to economical gains once this project commenced. Of course in all honesty you will not expect Ndii and crew to be happy campers😏
David Ndii 's argument still holds. We can get the loan but repaying it might just never happen!!
This is a stupid but expensive bad joke
谢谢中国人
The railway is a white elephant and the collateral which is the port shall be taken by China just as it did in Sri Lanka and Pakistan do research and then talk childish talkers without knowledge in kiswahili tumetiwa maji
Ahmed Ali even if it comes to that, China taking over the railroad, : should one be more concerned about of the skin-color of the railroad operators/management? Or should one be more concerned with the availability of affordable, accessible transportation that will increase productivity in the economy and enable the smooth movement of people?
As an African I chose the latter. After all, if we cannot service the debt the Chinese will not uproot the railroads, motorways, power stations etc and take them back to China.
Ahmed Ali, Kenya is not Sri Lanka or Pakistan my friend. We are smart and calculative. It's the people that drive the economy and ours is a diversified economy. We've got US and Britain to invest equal amounts to China. We will pay the loan before China can even think of grabbing anything and if we can;t they still ain't taking shit. This is Kenya watajua hawajui
Ahmed Ali it's two months now, I am still waiting for China to take Kenya's port you f*kn shit. We are not Pakistan or Sri Lanka, Kenyans are smarter than yo all my friends
Indians are jealous. Their railway sucks.
