As we were holding press conferences, our neighbours have been working.
Your analogy is assuming that we are living. We are still dreaming of starting to live. Our neighbours have started building. That will lead to the wazua threads of "my neighbour has bought a range rover"
I would be very interested to hear a different opinion. Including laptops and 6% economic growth as MP's increase the wage bill would also add spice to the topic.
What @Limanika doesnt know is that the rail connecting djibouti and ssudan are an extension of Lappset so why shouldnt kenya build its own rail?
The defeatist attitude is starting to take over i see, just because TZ has stated they will build a port, baridi imeingia and yet they have not even started working on it on paper. The construction of the first 3 berths in Lamu has started should we stop building because our neighbors think they can also do it? Who is really dreaming?
I come from the school of thought where you aim at making your competition irrelevant. Let them go ahead, has Daresalaam port ever outshined Msa even with its inefficiencies?
Ethiopians are performers no doubt about it but those who think that the Lamu port only exists to serve Ethiopia and SSudan are completely wrong. Some homework, As an Ethiopian or S.sudanese aiming to export to China, which would be your ideal route....refer to your maps
