Quote:Mr Njuguna did not ,however, give a timeline for the implementation of the project. Let me remind you of a project which had timelines. I'm sure you're enjoying the services now Quote:An ambitious $150 million (Sh15 billion) urban passenger train connecting Nairobi suburbs to the city centre is set to be launched by June.
The project, co-financed by Kenya and Hungary, will ease traffic congestion in the city besides transferring technology to Kenyans.
President Uhuru Kenyatta welcomed the city tram project on Friday saying " development-conscious Kenyan would oppose such a programme".
He spoke on Friday during talks with Hungary Ambassador to Kenya Eduard Laszlo Mathe, who had paid him a courtesy call at State House, Nairobi.
The President said phase one of the project will connect the Standard Gauge Railway end point in Nairobi to the railway station in the city centre.
Other branches will connect the suburbs with the station. The proposed branches of the train project will include Thika Road, Ngong Road, Ongata Rongai and Limuru Road, all connecting to the city centre
The President directed the Transport ministry to ensure the project is completed on schedule.
He explained that Hungarian engineers will train their Kenyan counterparts to make materials and transfer the skills to manage the project.
The Hungarian ambassador said the proposed tram service will transform the way people in the capital city get to work.
“It is expected to transport about 300,000 passengers a day and even more when all the branches are fully operational,” he said.
“In line with Hungary’s new foreign policy for Africa to reinforce economic relations, we will train and equip Kenyans with skills to develop the project and own it. This project will be made in Kenya,."
The envoy disclosed that his country has implemented a similar project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
On education, the ambassador pointed out that his country will provide Kenya with 50 postgraduate scholarships.
Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia and senior officials of the ministry were at the meeting. Rink If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

How would you like to see "Kibaki Close" look like connecting Moi Avenue to Workshop -Bunyala-Dunga roads?
Should it help move part of the current railway station PSV buses to Land Mawe?

Should it help move part of the current railway station PSV buses to Land Mawe? It's a good idea.. They can overpass the NCR and have a landing at Landi Mawe onwards to CMC ukielekea Matter Hospital COOP, IMH, KEGN, KQ, MTNU

Nairobi was made for surface operations and reason the white looked for flat land to settle as a base during railway erection.
Dubai NEVER stops constructions....Roads-bridges, overpasses, underpasses, canals and Tall buildings are the order of the day.
Nairobi is too behind to implement some of the obvious much needed projects.
Railway station is a property of Railways corporation that is a Govt Parastatal and Govt ought to give access to other projects that could open up Nairobi traffic both Pedestrians and automobiles.
Think of linking Hamza in Makadara to Nyanyuki road in Industrial area with a link road to reduce traffic on Likoni and the road from Donholm to industrial area.
Link Kirinyaga road to ngara with a road not footpath for Matatus 6 , 9, 14, 32, 17B, 47, 44 etc
Expand Moi Avenue from Commercial- Ambassadeur- to Haileselassie avenue with an overpass /underpass to Landmawe-Workshop -Dunga rds (Kibaki close)

We have heavy inbound traffic every morning in Thika road- despite its expansion. ....He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion..

Nairobi needs a multi storey underground car parks and Matatu termini at Uhuru park grounds and other strategic junctions . Uhuru park can absorb traffic from Langata road, Mombasa road, Ngong Road and waiyaki way. The car park can also host the menacing Hawkers and other street businesses currently suffocating the CBD . Globe cinema roundabout, Gikomba market and Machakos Bus Station can have similar Car parks and Matatu termini to cater for traffic from Eastlands and the North of Nairobi.
Once implemented, Matatus should only be allowed in for a set period of time to pick up passangers or each route be allocated a number of spaces.
No vehicles should be allowed in the CBD. A light rail system should be in place to link up all the termini and the CBD.
