That the high cost of projects in Kenya is likely to kill the Kenyan dream heading into the future is a question of when not if- that's if we keep burying our heads in the sand..e.g, the main reason why Rwanda and ug & Ss are reportedly pulling out of SGR is that they re simply unable to finance their portion of SGR...china's insistence that they use same contractor and same terms as keñya will just drive them away sooner than later. By the way its not a joke about changing geopolitics. ION ug is pulling out of somalia, anyone know the reason?,çoz changing realignmeants show ug will be less dependeñt on northern route heading into the future hence no major interests to secure the same. When we said cost of SGR is inflated, gok turned a deaf ear. Now, the high cost of projects- coz of financing kickbacks, campaigns and all thàt, likely to kill kenyan dream. IMHO, Kenya should ask china to let ug n rwanda source financiers and contractor for their portion of SGR otherwise we're done

Nah, Ug. is not pulling out of Som. coz of 'changing realignments that show Ug will be less dependent on northern route'
Note UG went into Som in 2007 way before launch of Kenya's V2030 of which SGR is a flagship project in 2008.
Pia, UG n Burundi are in Som coz of USD/EUROs/ to raise their country profile plus additionally for M7, military adventurism which he loves
Total will fund Ug's SGR portion through Tanga.
So M7 would pull out if EU pulled the plug on AMISOM funding in Som.

Some people cannot be helped!!! This government is taxing anything and everything to raise money for all sorts of things - debt repayments, over priced projects, financing corruption (ultimately - it is our taxes being stolen!!) The fellows are taxing water and juice at beer rates (za kitambo). Ati you are taxing soda to make people live healthy lives then you tax mineral water and fresh juice!!! Ati you are slapping a tax of 7/= per litre of kerosene to "stop adulteration of fuel".... What kind of nonsense is that!!?? Never count on making a good sale.

But on a serious note, the costing in this country is a mess!!! I heard about a 17 km bypass to complete the circuit around Nairobi. The damn thing is supposed to cost like 20 Billion. I was like, what the f@*k!!?? More than a Billion per kilometre!? Even the 10 lane Thika Road was costing like half Billion per kilometre. Hii bypass inatumia more than a Billion per kilometre inajengwa na nini??? Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Even the 10 lane Thika Road was costing like half Billion per kilometre. Hii bypass inatumia more than a Billion per kilometre inajengwa na nini??? I came across this article from NHTA well it says alot and I'll leave it here How Much Does It Cost to Build a Mile of Road? There is no single answer to this question. Construction costs per mile of road depend on location, terrain, type of construction, number of lanes, lane width, durability, number of bridges, etc. It costs more to build a new road than to rehabilitate a road or add lanes. Roads cost more to build in urban areas than in rural areas. Roads in mountainous terrain are more expensive to build than roads on flat land. Nonetheless, some states have developed cost models to guide planning for their highway construction programs. These models give a ballpark figure for various kinds of highway improvements. The following are some examples: Construct a new 2-lane undivided road – about $2 million(ksh200m) to $3(ksh300m) million per mile (1.7km)in rural areas, about $3 million to $5 million in urban areas.
Construct a new 4-lane highway — $4 million to $6 million per mile in rural and suburban areas, $8 million to $10 million per mile in urban areas.
Construct a new 6-lane Interstate highway – about $7 million per mile in rural areas, $11 million or more per mile in urban areas.
Mill and resurface a 4-lane road – about $1.25 million per mile.
Expand an Interstate Highway from four lanes to six lanes – about $4 million per mile.The Florida Department of Transportation has published its generic cost per mile information for 2013 online. The Arkansas Highway Department’s estimated cost per mile for 2013 is available online.

Construction of a four lane highway measuring 16.5Km, Construction of service roads on both sides totalling 17.37Km and Construction of four (4) interchanges and Bypasses. Kindly note this is an EPC project, ( Engineering Procurement Concept) that means the agreement entails all costs including resettlement and compensation. Let's get the facts right. I think to put it in perspective we need to think of the final cost of the 2km road from Bomas to KWS; it must have been over 3 billion. Factoring that land compensation was only at the interchange, its easy to draw parallels. I do not think there is enough road reserve to construct a dual road here never minding the fact that there will be four interchanges and service roads all through. Wangige bus terminus is part of the project, so is some soundproofing at Ndenderu  "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

uganda is not moving to tanzania. people, cargo through mombasa and dar es salaam including breakdown by country as well as annual growth has been public information for the last gazillion years. if uganda was moving to dar es salaam, they wouldnt even need to wait for a railway. road traffic would already have relocated like yesterday.
