The rail will have a length of around 690 km or thereabouts. Somebody asking why there is an addition of 200km is just being dumb! This is a very good project which should go on unimpeded. People should not read politics in everything.
Question i ask is WHERE THE HELL DID THE 1.3T FIGURE COME FROM? It was well highly quoted when this thing started. then all of a sudden it died down. now we are talking of 327B
now Mombasa to nbi is 490km quoted is 690km.. the quote per KM takes into consideration labour, altitude, etc etc..
engineer says the extra 200 Km will go into exchanges (that place where they mugithis salimiana and pass). meaning we are going to do another journey halfway from NBI to MBS...200km on fukken exchanges?
I would presume most of the exchange line will be in MBS and NBI there will be atleast 70km of rail laid for exchanges in both towns.. can somebody to the maths on land needed to lay such rail..
with factors like
average length of exchanges is X km
dist btn exchange rails is 5m
If most of you are kenyans and know how to eat..You will agree with me... hapo ndo mkulo iko not 400B but iko
