If it was meant for us it could be even in simplified kiswahili. They need to show the ruling communist party how hard they are working in Africa and how the chinese immage is improving around the world. I've worked with Chinese in Kenya and I can assure you that the only Kenyans employed are KYMs even a assistant supervisor has to be Chinese. China's policy is to dominate the world and the only way to do that is to get their over 1b people out of China and into the world. Just go and observe any Chinese company and you'll be shocked by how the levels of control they have in Kenya. There's a reason why Americans and Europeans are not allowing them into their countries. Having worked with majority of kenyans, i always fear them, anytime a request for materials is made the foreman thinks of how many bags or metal rods he will steal and not how he will make the work better So true. Really we are our own worst enemies

When I asked about the economics of going to Mombasa for the holloi polloi I was called a Nasa mole by the usual suspects. I ask again. Who is this fool who's going to pay 1200 bob plus 100 bob to Syokimau plus 200 bob from Miritini all for the love of jubilee? This shall be the biggest economic mess in this country and I'm being nice. Those shainis have a way of giving you money that only your great grand children can pay for. Lakini, tano tena. Tuendelee. Kama hamtaki tutazima TV. Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?

Tough times! The latest strategy is to force importers to use SGR. The clearing agents are up in arms. Will most likely end in court. Someone is really trying to paint this white elephant black. One month in operation and the reality is sinking in. David Ndii saw it four years ago.

Infrastructure is not meant to make profit but boost business. It's like roads. Govt should enable infrastructure development and meet most of it's maintenance costs, this will boost business and therefore more tax revenues. i.am.back!!!!

How will they know the ones to bring to Nairobi?

35k is a deal. Just like the pipeline made fuel transport from mbs safe, cheap and efficient, the SGR should make transport of goods safe, cheap and efficient. Removing trucks from the roads also makes the country save billions in road maintenance, and also many lives are saved by reducing truck/road accidents. Hundreds of jobs will be created at the inland container depots and lots of business created for those transporting containers from ICD to final destination.

Apparently, KPA has stopped nomination of CFS effective today and that all unnominated containers consigned to importers upcountry have to be railed to Embakasi via SGR.
