it's too late for Uhuru... Ruto just needs to keep doing what he is doing - it's working!!

Ati it's working...With who?

Has he recently increased the number of boda boda followers?

My frens...Hii mambo ya ruto is just like the people who believe Trump has a chance in November. I can confirm that I did not vote for Trump.

He will learn just like Mariga.

william Looto would have been the worst president in Kenya. Luckily he charo nefa mbe.

[quote=murchr]Time has run out for UK, he even squandered his opportunity to build ateast 1 legacy.

These Last connectivity mile, railway, dongo kundu (kibaki's project btw) were all done b4 2017.

His legacy was to be on the BIG 4 AGENDA remember? (Affordable housing - he even went to Singapore for this)

On those paid in $$, good for you if you work for a company that does that but ask the Tea coffee farmer if they are enjoying their pay, they are also paid in $$. For every 1 shilling that the dollar gains, the Kenyan debt grows by 30 billion the dollar is at 108 today, if it gets to 109 tomorrow, another 30B. is added to the debt levels. We are still planning to borrow so as to finance BBI.

Where is the big4 agenda?

Would the Dam coming up in Gichugu, Kirinyaga, that proposes to double Mwea Pishori Rice production and generate power for the national grid count?

I've never understood this 'it was a Kibaki project' thing.

If Kibaki govt didn't do the project proper: the financing, supervision etc, I don't see why it should be said to be their project.

I remember Kibaki was on a project launching spree in his last year.

Happy to see a successive govt take over and complete projects.

It makes the two of us...We all know that there is policy risk when regime changes....In Africa,there is no guarantee that an incoming president will carry on where the previous regime left. In Kenya, We have seen governors coming in and trashing everything their predecessors had started leaving white elephants/eyesores littered all over the place. Hata ma MP na CDF wajameni usually abandon projects started by their predecessors for petty reasons such as plain old jealousy and the fear that wananchi will perceive such projects as previous mheshimiwa project.

I recall in the first term of Jubilee, there was this narrative(probably peddled by Oxford Ndii) that H.E. Uhuru has abandoned LAPSET. As we speak Berth 3 is complete 3 months ahead of schedule. Lamu, a backwater of modern living 10 years ago is now poised to becoming a major gateway to East Africa.

It seems only Nairobi folk are blind to the transformation that has happened in this great republic in the very-short-past eight years.

This mega project consists of seven key infrastructure projects starting with new 32 Berth port at Lamu (Kenya); Interregional Highways from Lamu to Isiolo, Isiolo to Juba (South Sudan), Isiolo to Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), and Lamu to Garsen (Kenya), Crude Oil Pipeline from Lamu to Isiolo, Isiolo to Juba; Product Oil Pipeline from Lamu to Isiolo, Isiolo to Addis Ababa; Interregional Standard Gauge Railway lines from Lamu to Isiolo, Isiolo to Juba, Isiolo to Addis Ababa, and Nairobi to Isiolo; 3 International Airports: one each at Lamu, Isiolo, and Lake Turkana; 3 Resort Cities: one each at Lamu, Isiolo and Lake Turkana; and The multipurpose High Grand Falls Dam along the Tana River.

Did Kibaki govt conceptualize the bypasses? Were they not planned for by the 70s?

Going by that line of thought, I think it's only fair for us to judge Jubilee after 10 years. For we are sure that some of their projects like Nakuru Highway expansion will only be completed by successive govt(s)

16. Decongestion of the main artery (Northern Corridor) that passes through the middle of
Nairobi and the development of new infrastructure surrounding the city is critically important to
Nairobi‘s future as a modern growth-generating urban capital. Achieving decongestion would
help to achieve that vision. The 2006 Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)-financed
Nairobi master plan study estimates the cost of sub-performance of intersections at KES 22.59
billion annually (2006 prices). This is a major cost to the economy.

17. Similarly, the draft INTP of 2004 indicates that 91.8 percent of Nairobi‘s road transport
arteries operate over their design capacities, resulting in frequent day-long traffic jams. It
recommends encouraging a shift to large capacity vehicles by public transport operators and to
redesign the urban traffic flows and create dedicated infrastructure for the exclusive use of large
capacity buses, i.e., a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. The Mass Rapid Transit Study (MRTS)
of 2011, financed by the African Development Bank (AfDB), identified nine corridors as
potential BRT routes, based on travel demand forecasts for 2030 consistent with Vision 2030.
The proposed NUTRIP will finance the preparatory work, feasibility and detailed designs,
including Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs), for selected BRT corridors,
covering both the engineering and operational features that constitute a BRT system. Upon
completion, the designed BRT system would lay the ground work for a successor urban transport
operation, possibly to be supported by the Bank and other development partners.

g) Sector Investments Plans

39. The urban public transport services currently offered do not cater to the needs of the
majority, who still walk to their places of work. To improve delivery of transport services in the
country, a 15-year (2010-2024) Road Sector Investment Plan (RSIP) has been developed and
adopted with clear priorities, and a 50-year transport master plan (involving all modes of
transport with a specific 10-year investment plan) is proposed to be prepared to complement the
agreed institutional and policy reforms. The selection of a consultant to develop the 50-year
transport master plan is underway and the assignment will be funded through the Bank-financed
NCTIP. In addition, targeted studies have been carried out, including feasibility of mass transit
systems and a road network master plan for Nairobi.

Furthermore, to enhance network continuity and consistency, construction works are
ongoing to upgrade some of the major road arteries in Nairobi, such as: (a) the Thika road, (b)
the eastern bypass, (c) the northern bypass, (d) the southern bypass, and (e) the junction on
Airport North Road/Outer Ring Road. It is therefore critical that the adjoining section of the
Northern Corridor through Nairobi (namely JKIA turnoff–Rironi, which forms the main road
artery) is improved, complemented by improvement of other junctions and effective traffic
management measures. The NUTRIP will support expansion of this corridor.
