SGR TANZANIA PUSHES KENYA OUT OF TRANSPORT CORRIDOR

[Meria]

At a cost of US$3.6 BILLION, the SGR is Kenya's most EXPENSIVE infrastructure project since INDEPENDENCE.

On the other hand Tanzania is EDGING closer to dominating East Africa’s transport with it's OWN SGR

Tanzania’s Ministry of Finance signed a facility agreement with Standard Chartered Tanzania for a US$ 1.46 BILLION 20 year term loan.

This will be a MAJOR blow to KENYA'S Northern Transport CORRIDOR

The TANZANIAN railway will be able to haul up to 10,000 TONNES of FREIGHT, equivalent to 500 LORRIES, per TRIP.

It will also connect Tanzania to BURUNDI, RWANDA and the Democratic Republic of the CONGO, DRC, thereby playing a KEY role in enhancing regional TRADE.

The development of the transport system in Tanzania deals a huge BLOW to Kenya’s Northern Transport Corridor whose success was pegged on its being the more AFFORDABLE and EFFICIENT route for the landlocked East African countries.

With Kenya EDGED OUT of connecting the landlocked nations, the Tanzanian SGR will COVER 1,457 km on COMPLETION. It will stretch from Dar es Salaam to LAKE VICTORIA and as one of the mega infrastructure projects in Tanzania

In 2018, Rwanda and Tanzania signed an agreement for the extension of the SGR line from Isaka to Kigali, a distance of 575km. To finance the project, Tanzania is paying US$1.3 BILLION and Rwanda US$1.2 BILLION.

Rwanda will solely cover the costs of extending the line to Rubavu which is a 221km stretch

What you get after inflating the project cost just because somebody needed kickbacks. We'll never recover from this SGR shit.

Their president has been making moves and meeting with other regional leaders while ours is proud to be the first African leader to be hosted by Biden and is yet to declare why his family has stashed their very suspect wealth in offshore accounts and invested abroad instead of locally.

Iko shida lakini si Bora Uhuru

As a truck driver will you drive to Tanzania to protest the SGR taking away most part of the cargo ?

No

The writer got this bullshit straight from his ass! inflated or not, Kenyas SGR is the only functioning SGR in this part of the world. This reminds me of Ndii with his choir on how the Ethiopian SGR was better than Kenyas. Siku hizi amefunga mdomo.

can't agree more, he starts with "it cost less and therefore....... it's farts will smell nice

TZ SGR is not yet complete, tulia kiasi tu.

kiasi ni how long?? phase 1 Dar - Moro 250 km imekuwa ikijengwa for the last almost 4 years now. isitoshe, hakuna stima ya maana tz. The dam they are building for power generation, ipatie a minimum of 2yrs to come online. So we are talking of 2025 as the earliest the SGR(passenger only) it can start operating.
Cargo hata usiseme. currently, there is no connection to Dar port. The marshalling yard is at RUVU about 70km away. This means cargo will have tobe tracked from the port to Ruvu so that it can be loaded to the SGR, I don't know how smart or efficient that is.

Our SGR was not only artificially expensive, a certain family decided to put their private business interests first.

Ask yourself why you have never seen the Naivasha terminus on any picture....because it is private land, the sgr is driving private businesses buddy

 

[Ubongo]

Our Sgr was supposed to be a game changer...

 

[It's Me Scumbag]

Our Sgr was supposed to be a game changer...

True. For the La Familia.

budget constraints, lakini pole pole tunazidi, 1st bearth is already operational, roads to Garissa are about complete, meaning Lamu - Thika Nairobi will be fully functional by the time Uhuru leaves (its partly functional). Shida sasa ni direct Garissa - Isiolo to serve Ethiopia. Then Isiolo to the Kitale - Lodwar A1 highway to serve South Sudan, that may take a decade.

Lapsset railway don't hold your breadth, earliest it may be done is 2030-2040 decade.
Pipeline, won't be done, developments in solar and electric vehicles have already killed that. The best we can do with our oil is do a small refinery in Turkana, get l.p.g and bitumen for road construction

this is misinformation, the SGR terminates at Suswa and photos of the Suswa station are allover the interwebs. Sponsored githeri media ndio huandika Naivasha, yet its Suswa.
*could you explain how the SGR is driving private businesses...

If this was done we'd reduce economic reliance on northern corridor and sort of diversify.

The line to Vasha is ongoing. If you use the Mai Mahiu road, you'd see the accelerated development of the railway

yes, ngahamia isiolo ama marsabit ngaanza biashara huko.
