Unrelated to the topic but, nice to watch. These people are testing out Japan's levitating maglev train.

@Simo, thanks for the photo's. Hope the sir'kal in Kenya take note of what our neighbours are upto. Uhunye surely has to learn to ignore the politicians.

Baba's work is to push for political reforms, Uhunye's should be to develop the country, right now he is not doing his to the expectations


Will Kenyans stop stealing lamps and guard rails? Its not just a Uhunye job. How much does it cost to repair and maintain?


His gaament has to stop that, the buck stops with HIM!

The scrap metal dealers comes from the presidents community, he should know how to deal with them.
Shame on you

The tragedy is that all these years and even now, we in Africa build highways and railways to make importation of finished goods and export of raw materials much easier. In the west, they developed their highways and rails to make importation of raw materials and export of finished goods easier. The other tragedy is that we borrow from the west to develop our infrastructure, in reality we do not yet own these assets until the debts are paid to the last penny

HEINEKEN inaugurates Ethiopia's biggest brewery as part of EUR310mln investment in the country



Quote:
With a total capacity of 1.5m hectolitres, the Kilinto brewery is already producing the recently launched Walia® beer together with Bedele® and Harar® beer brands. It is planned that the site will also brew other brands including the flagship Heineken® beer.

Employing around 280 people, drawn from the local workforce, the new facility complements the already established Bedele and Harar breweries; which were acquired from the Ethiopian government in 2011. The EUR110mln new brewery is part of a total EUR310mln investment in the country by HEINEKEN since 2011.

Would trams solve Nairobi's transport problems? I don't think so not unless they are put on all matatu routes. Matatus are more efficient in ferrying huge numbers of people to many many destinations which trams can't.

Good question. The answer would be , build trams to serve the city center. Say from Muthurwa terminus crisscross all the way to westie and then to Ngara ama another terminus those sides of Thika road and then at Nyayo stadium to serve Mbs road; benefits,
-That way no mats in CBD which will also reduce the carbon emissions and noise.
-Then make the fares cheap.
-This will not send matatus out of bizna and it will not be very expensive to build.
-The security problem will be addressed. Hakuna kuogopa hijacks within the city
-Extend operation hours mpaka kitu 1AM.

na much more

Trams would only work for intra-city transport, eg hopping from Kencom to GPO. Nairobi trasport problem is getting the masses from the residential areas to the City.Once people are in the city, they can then solve their movements. I doubt many people would wait for a tram from for example railways bus park to GPO. Its better to walk as the waiting time might be much more than the walking time.

Nbi is just too congested to plan. It would be much easier to build a new capital elsewhere with better infrastructure than try to create order our of chaotic Nbi.

congratulations ethiopia for the lrt. generally speaking, ethiopia is coming from a lower development base and some of the investments its making or getting now are phases kenya has passed. except things like lrt of course.
All my friends are heathens, take it slow. Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves.
