In the next few weeks/months (tentatively before year end), the following projects will kick off, going by snippets here and there: 1. SGR- October 2. LAPSSET - The first 3 Berths 3. Outer Ring road 4. 10,000km roads upgrade to bituminous standard Quote:Mr Muthaura said mobilization for the three berths would begin immediately so that the works are launched next month, with Yashoon Engineering Company of Korea supervising the contractor. The three berths are expected to be completed by May 2018..........Mr Muthaura said the revocation of the allocations had cleared the way for the project to proceed in the expectation that any litigation would be addressed quickly.
Quote:Nearly 137,000 direct jobs are set to be created during the construction of a 10,000-kilometre road network over the next three years, government estimates show.
The Transport and Infrastructure ministry reckons the ambitious road plan will create demand for engineers, surveyors, technicians, machine operators and labourers, easing biting unemployment among Kenya’s growing population.
The project is expected to start in December to enhance connectivity, promote trade and attract investment by reducing the cost of doing business.
A new financing model dubbed annuity concessions has been crafted to accelerate the construction and will see contractors design, build, finance, operate and maintain the roads for some time, with the Treasury acting as a guarantor for their bank loans.
“We expect about 137,000 jobs to be created directly by the annuity programme during the construction,” said Kenya Rural Roads Authority’s (Kerra) director general Mwangi Maingi in an interview.
Quote:Kerra, which is the agency in charge or rural roads construction, noted that about 3060 units of construction equipment would be needed. They include earth-movers, excavators, rollers and concrete equipment, watering the market for dealers in these products.
New demand will also be created with the construction of the Sh327 billion new railway line linking Mombasa to Nairobi that is targeted to employ about 30,000 local workers. Their recruitment will start in October.
The first phase of the roads upgrade in this fiscal year will create 29,000 jobs during which time a fifth of the total network is expected to be built, ministry estimates show.
The jobs will increase in the subsequent phases with 43,750 workers earmarked for a 3,000km stretch in the 2015/16 fiscal year and another 64,250 employees to build the remaining 5,000km by 2017.
Highways will account for a fifth of the proposed roads meant to boost interconnectivity and open up remote areas and cut transport costs for business growth.The new jobs will help ease the pain of unemployment, especially among youth and women for whom 30 per cent of the contracts will be reserved as part of government efforts to deal with the jobs crisis.
The project, whose bidding window is open until August 29, is valued at Sh260 billion.
Views? Shouldn't we be excited? Please wazuans don't burst my bubble..... TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

No jubilee project has started or has any signs of starting anytime soon, Upperhill roads will stay that way for sometimes maybe upto August 2015 contractor has not seen a single coin since last year, SGR-might start I was at the Contractor yard close to Mariakani, but preparation is slow.
Outering -compensation nightmare here, landowners have gone to court,shelved.
Konza---Dead nothing on site land now in dispute (Muthama) so financiers shying away.

Speaking of which , why did they mess up some parts of the road at the limuru rd overpass? very strange , they cut it up and filled it up again and now its bumpy .. "You can't have everything.

and even the City's location is in not known with senate Committee on Lands and Natural resources giving the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), the Director of Physical Planning, the Director of Survey and the Lands Ministry two weeks to furnish it with the necessary paperwork outlining boundaries around the country. While probing the demarcation of Konza City boundaries which is at the centre of a tussle between the counties of Machakos and Makueni with both claiming ownership, the committee chairman, Embu Senator Lenny Kivuti, admitted that there were many discrepancies in documentation of land across the country. http://www.capitalfm.co....er-konza-city-location/
