A great continent that is Africa deserve a great friendship. China is a blessom for Africa and elsewhere.
You don’t understand what Trapp China is building Kenya is never be able to pay back the loan because the mold fashion train never produce the money to pay back !!
its always great to hear the progress of the country
let them make sure its done
This is the belt and road initiative, the projet is good but we ask African leaders to be serious and refund to China his money in a reasonable time frame.
There's this US politican who said that he hated the BRI because the US didn't come up with it. He didn't even notice how stupid that comment was. Then again, stupidity is a requirement to make it in US politics.
要想富先修路，只要有这条路在还愁钱还不上？
@@Luming-di9rf I read that President Xi offered to John Carry at the time to make it a joint project with US. As far as I can tell, it is still open to the US and everyone else who wants to participate. Pity US decided to demonize the entire thing as evil.
This will bring the division amongst African nations closer together. What that also brings is the easy access to other African nations and fast transportation of goods. I hope to bear witness in my life time that Africa will prosper and break centuries of "slave-master" mindset from the old colonial days and Africans stand equal in economic power like the West, Asia and European continents.
A very good initiative that will benefit all involved.
I hope tariffs on goods and services will not dissuade a higher percentage of persons from using the railway service.
I also hope adequate technical policies have been put in place to ensure remittance of funds to service the loan as when due.
Only China is committed to help Africa develop infrastructures. America offers military bases.
America is very crazy, even the wars can manage them, it wants to colonise Africa once again. just laughing at it 😂😂😂😂😂 American?
@@goddiesanmagoba2357 The US is the worst country in the world.
@@goddiesanmagoba2357 When did the US colonize Africa the first time?!
China is controlling Kenya by his economy in the first view it is a good deal but you get old fashion technic for a high price !!
@@goddiesanmagoba2357China will colonize Africa bring his own Labour Force and the money stas in China
I do hope the Station at Kisumu will be renovated as well.
This is great for regional interconnectivity of neighboring states and to enhance business and movement of people and goods among East Africa member countries.
While others are doing the electrical way, others are doing the diesel way and polluting the environment with their smoking trains much to our chagrain!
Where is that regional interconnectivity!?
@@augustinemzeentinginya3057 we will eventually get there. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
@@augustinemzeentinginya3057sgr will be electrified when the government stabilises power needs.....what is electric is the train not the rail Mr man....😂😂😂😂 people like you talk without information
Only China can give quick & straight answer "yes or not" & then fast Action once all ok !
No need to drag Imf,World bank,investors , nonsense "colonial politic", parliaments, congress,senators & many other nonsenses.
Especially usual "insulting summoning of Africa ministers , like summoning school children to principal office "
Your comment is silly because China is co-founder and high shareholder for the IMF and the World Bank. This is the source of funds for African projects. Do you not know about the Chinese human rights abuses in Africa?
@@rickmarshall5419 What behavior? Don't just use your mouth, show the evidence
@@wynterwei9628go to Congo and see how people are being killed by Chinese companies
Thank you for educating ignorant people.
For sure, this rail will do wonders. But Africans have to make things happen after this rail is up. It’s like you have a fishing rod and whether you catch fish or starve depends on how determined you are to fish and thrive.
Wakanda forever and ever
Kenya really plays the superpowers. Signing a $5.3 billion deal with China while the president is on 3 days state visit to US is gangster.
This is the way of survival for minor players in geopolitics. Singapore is the most successful of them all.
😂😂😂 he's brave
Really good job dear ....
Thanks
Diesel trains this 21 century is just a merce to the environment. An typical Myopic thinking
There was another railway China was building in Africa decades ago. While in progress (China paid for it as token of friendship), it deliberately got destroyed by US. US didn't want china to finish it. Forget when & where it exactly was. Thought it was in the 1960s.
Kenya 🇰🇪 welcome to BRICS.
Beautiful awesome love it thanks for that Awsome info😮😮😮😮😮

At some point africa needs to fund their own projects. China will need to be repaid. Its about accountability and responsibility.
But who's funding? The Chinese are contractors....at the end the government pays .....the only thing Chinese are doing is they are willing to build for a later pay.....so Africa is doing its projects...... Chinese are doing the same everywhere
You are very correct. But African leaders are busy stealing all the money. That's why Africa has failed to fund its own projects. African youth need to get educated and then rise up against these dictators and corrupt leaders who have stolen everything from the continent
Mombasa Nairobi is at capacity already- The vision of the project is excellent but it is realized too small.
That's my man good move
The same people praising china today are the ones who were criticizing Ruto recently when he visited china country and signed some financial agreements with it. These same bloggers here praising China demonized Ruto for going there to seek financing of these same projects they're now praising china for here. In short what these bloggers don't want is anything good that will give Ruto a reason to brag. If Ruto secures a loan from china they say he's selling Kenya to china, the same people still say he's selling Kenya to USA and now they start praising china which they've been demonizing! Shiet!!!
No diesel SGR which can survive...U first and foremost need to have ur powerhouse..Come to Tanzania how to establish and manage SGR.Tanzania the hub of Africa! Viva President Samia..
hatujaelewa tafadhali
You just got your SGR the other day and you think you're better than Kenya😂. As long as our SGR can get us to Mombasa in 4hrs we don't care whether it's electric or diesel. Wivu itawauwa. Hamupendi kuona Kenya ikiendelea. Grow up no wonder you have a long way to get to Kenya's league 🙄
We are proud of the diesel one.
How to manage SGR that's yet to commence operations 😢
Mshikaji umeandika UPUPU. Kiingerea chenywewe cha kipimbi kabisa. Unatia aibu.
Tanzania electric SGR not depend on loans from outside. Dept trap again in Kenya.
*Western mantra u assume the west is reliable option!*
You're just clueless a Nairobi based firm got its money in tanzania railway project n you're sa😂ying the
I dont know why there is a word "debt trap". African are smart enough to how to cut a deal, and they are smart enough to know things afterwards; same as all the people around this planet, people borrow money for infan structure.
It sounds like a great news but it needs to be confirmed as China is grappling with alot of bad debts both in China and outside China and Kenya is also struggling with $6.8 Billion already owed to China .I thought Kenya was looking for PPP(Private Public Partner) investment like the Nairobi expressway to finance the Naivasha-Malaba line.This way the investor pays for the project and runs the project for sudden number of years to recoup their investment plus profit.
That will face the challenges of Western media of propagandizing China is trying to colonize Africa!

Keep selling your soul to those debt monsters
Kenya is capable of paying debts and it's situation is very okay.......a country is not developed on savings......this is not a farm......we better have railway and shorten the distance to Kampala
Can we at least do dual lanes please?
We want to see troops kwa ground. This declarations are too many with nothing tangible to show for it. Ruto said the other day that the dual carriage way to Malaba begins end of this year! Acheni kubeba Wakenya ufala!
These are projects that Uhuru had everything sorted but they cancelled the contracts to re award them to their friends
China have taken over Sri Lanka because they built a sea port for them. Chinese have taken over their government affairs. Africans are not thinking of long term consequences
Relax this is not Srilanka this is Kenya
Looks like U$ freedom and democracy will be coming to Kenya and Uganda.
Yeah! Tanzania has beaten Kenya to it by a mile or two...While we have ''Gari ya Moshi'' They have a connecting Electricity Trains SGR which will connect all the way to Rwanda and even Congo. This Kenya one can't even compare. I love my Kenya but how do you build a railway line which is Diesel based AND IT COSTS MORE THAN THE MUCH LONGER ELECTRICITY ONE BEING BUILT BY TANZANIA REALLY BEATS ME....Hahahahaha!
But you should know diesel train also has it's own advantage
Tanzania produce more electricity now, electricity is very cheap compare to diesel. Rest in peace Magufuli.
How can you forc 1 to go for meat daily when he can't afford, I tell you uganda will go for the chipper 1
Simple, economic viability due to haulage power.
Thanks for information, I thought the Kenya SGR is electric like Tanzania, Uganda is anxiously waiting for Mwanza Lake Victoria line so as to connect it to Bukasa and port Bell inland ports in Kampala.
Nelson
Uganda
Can’t the rest of the line be electric? Tanzania wanatupita
Elections have consequences, if you elect the worst of the worst village fools based on how much these fools will part with during campaigns, so swallow your pride.
I have been wondering as to why we are not going for electric train.
@@jonahsanga9150 Unlike the neighboring countries, the cost of acquiring land in Kenya is much higher than the neighboring countries. This is the cost of being more developed and having a "flawed" but functional democracy forcing you to pay market prices or close to it. Also, intermittent power makes electrifying the train "nonoptimal". Electrifying trains is also more expensive and as the SGR was already over budget, it wasn't a viable option. The SGR was commissioned for cargo/freight, people were entirely secondary.
What makes you think Tanzania is ahead of Kenya in terms of infrastructural development??
Good question, do your own research go to uploaded Tanzanians videos in youtube,compare and contrast electric with disiel locomotives trains here in Kenya and you'll be satisfied.
Congratulations!
Most of the negative comments here are from people who have never traveled outside their counties non patriotic and think they know it all.
I would not believe a word coming out of Murkumen’s mouth. He lies not some of the time, but all of the time. I’ll believe it when I see it. Still waiting on Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway. Still waiting on JKIA’s new Green Field Terminal. Still waiting of the lipstick BRT. We have so many projects proposed by Murkumen that he is now a dead beat Santa, who never brings any presents 🎁 at Christmas 🤶
Greenfield Terminal project was closed
All this isn't a bad idea. However, I see that Africa can become stronger and more reliant on self like the other countries.
You know also tanzania is eyeing on uganda to be key transporter for cargo ,are we going to win this is uganda going to take electric or the one like ours
Tanzania will reach Uganda before you ,🇹🇿😊
There is enough room in Uganda for both Tz and Ky railways to operate. Don’t be filled with such bad energy
@@Thekidp3702 we shall see
@@Thekidp3702 but remember we have been using our sgr for the past four year before yours
Why so quick to trust China. Akon had similar plans that never happened.
I believe now more than ever that Uhuru Kenyatta's termination of the SGR at Naivasha was deliberate and by design to deny it reaching Kisumu hence the people of Kisumu not benefitting from it
why such low level arguements? the plan was to go all the way to kampala but the chinese pulled out of further funding due to concern of the line's viability and ability of kenya to repay the SGR loans, this is in public domain and the whole project had became unpopular including by Ruto himself as it was dragging the country into debt hole.
@@mwaurakinyanjui-tf4mx The 1969 oath still remains strong amongst Central Kenyan leaders, their open dislike for Luo Nyanza continues to date with the tactless Gachagua not scared to show it.
The lack of funding excuse was just a red herring fronted to cover up their real reasons as to why the railway would not reach Kisumu
It passed through Uhuru's land because speculators had bought land where the previous plan was for superprofits selling it back to the government. Kenya wanted a PPP for the remainder of the line and Uganda was uncommited on their end. Ethiopia also pulled out of LAPPSET. It's only now that America has shown interest in kenya have the Chinese agree to complete the line .
@Pmooli Ethiopia just used the Lamu port a week ago. Why would you lie that theh pulled out of the LAPPSET project?
@@Heegooat
"It's only now that America has shown interest in kenya have the Chinese agree to complete the line ."
The oppersite is true.
The Chinese began the construction work on the Mombasa-Nairobi SGR in November 2013 and completed 18 months ahead of schedule, while Obama didn't traveled to Kenya and Ethiopia until July 2015. He came to Africa purely out of jealousy to meet with government, business and civil society leaders, reinforcing the U.S. commitment to economic growth and trade, democracy and investment. He has not kept his promise until today.
That was a quick u turn!
The trade off of course would mean China would have the right to carryout anything they want there if the debt isn't paid off. I'm sure this isn't being done for free
The begging continues. I wonder what China will get out of this.
Africa will always be needing help because Africa can't do anything with its own ...and world respect countries who are committed to do something with its own ....
How about you focus on reducing poverty in India
But what’s the catch fellow Africans??
Kenya don’t learn from the first mistakes building SGR from Mombasa to Nairobi, this old fashion train never pay off the loan from China. Never will return of investment !!!
Corrupted to their bones
Sophie bring Malaba town please
Mtalipa tu!
Dolphine please whats the beats in the video background
when will construction commence
I'll keep you updated
It's time for Africa
TIME FOR AFRICA WITH SUBSTANDAR STUFFS!!

I thought Kenya didn't like their new railway? Is it working well for Kenya?
how about fixing the drains in kenya first before this
Great to help with this infrastructure but what’s the catch?
Means More Loans from China cooking
This is good however I pray it’s not at the expense of Congolese lives.
Just remember your country has to pay that money back. Expect taxs to rise. Its refered to as debt trap diplomacy
Tukona deni ya ksh300+trillion ya China na wanaendelea kuongeza deni lazma China wachukue land Kenya wajilipe nayo vile walichukua airport ya Uganda
Wacha uongo jamani. Eti 300+trillion na deni ya Kenya yote ni just 9 trillion?
Alaa ata economy ya UK haijafika hapo. Wewe wacha uongo nyingi😂
Nezi west propaganda
Diesel SGR is backwards, we need modern trains not the 1950s style. Kenyans leadres don't value class.
Good news.
BASICALLY BAD NEWS!

SGR ya Kenya ni disel juu mainly inatumika kubeba mizigo mingi which is cost effective compared to stima.
@@jeffchurum1431 lakini kwa maoni yangu nadhani stima ina nafuu kubwa sababu pesa yake itabaki nchini kuliko diesel pesa inatumika nyingi kwenye kuimport.

Si you tell me trains in the developed countries like UK, USA, Russia, Japan, France, Canada, Spain, Germant are diesel run....and as a matter of fact are carrying more cargo their diesel engines!,
Are they not electrified?!
THIS SOUNDS STUPID
@@augustinemzeentinginya3057Do your research ,they are using diesel because it has been there 50 years ago , no developed country at the moment will build new non electrified rail, Tanzania before building this did it research that why decided to build the biggest hydroelectric dam simultaneously with electrified sgr
