is it that our professionals engineers in this case dont know or is it more deliberate, ni masomo hawana, its just weird that we contract foreigners to come pour concrete, and lay steel rods on the ground (I know I am simplifying it too much). The romans were building roads and bridges before christ was born in Bethlehem, the crazy muzungu came all the way from britain, hata sijui alitoa chuma wapi, but he lay done rail track across the country, thats like 100+ years ago.
Hapa tuna shida kubwa sana.

Expertise is no problem, we produce top drawer pros. Unfortunately government contracting is marred by political patronage, remember Kirinyaga Contractors? When market forces are subverted quality takes a beating, no civil servant is going to challenge a contractor with a direct link to the boss over at Kenha or the ministry, quality and timelines be damned!

hawa Chinese wanajua kazi ya koroga kweli, to the engineers hapa, I always wonder whats is so complex when it comes to such projects, the main things are chuma na koroga, the same goes for the SGR its laying some some steel on some concrete.
From a professional engineering perspective, and availability or raw materials are these projects kenyans should be doing without foreign aid, both monetary and human resource wise.

But its some good work, seems it will be finished before August next year.

Shortcuts za wakenya is the primary problem and extending the work for monetary gain, so you know out weaknesses, work ethics=zero

We have a post colonial syndrome, where we still rob establishments like our grandfather's did during their colonial oppression. To semi justify, establishments still oppress their workers, operating on the colonial principles.
Like you said iko shida kubwa sana... But it will come change pole pole, some Kenyans are doing great things.
Tukiweka tamaa kando tutafika tu.

So, once again we bame the faceless animal called 'gavament' for our general lack of morals? Sijui vile tutasaidika................
 
Niliona ile contract KeNHA signed for 17Mbirrions na Chinese contractor and I`m flabbergasted what you write for 2000 pages. Even if you imagine every possible scenario and it`s redress. 2000 pages ni mingi, hio unapewa 2 page summary na lawyer saying if you don`t build this to this standard by this date YOU ARE FUCKED

There is conditions of contract, then there is the B.oQ, specifications and design drawings. With such contracts you have to dot your "i"s and cross your "t"s, bila hiyo taxpayer atafanywa ile kitu

Other than business ethics, capitalisation ndio inasumbua sisi kwa sasa. The amt of plant and equipment required to do an express way type project within the agreed timelines is mad
