IS THIS KENYAN DREAM DEAD OR ALIVE? New government plans to revive stalled construction of BRT

- Kenyan Historian interviewed Kenya's transport cabinet secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and the leader of majority in the national assembly, Kimani Ichungwah over plans for the Bus Rapid Transit system, BRT.
Tanzanias are starting brt phase 4 this year
In fact they are linking their airport in Dar to BRT. A BRT station will be build in JNIA in Dar and linked express to Dar CBD. Hapa kwetu ni ujinga tu ya stupid manyangas ndo tunajua.
While we are on infrastructure projects like the BRT, let's also light up our Cities and towns please.
It will never see the light of the day. The government is not committed to see it work because of vested interests from the matatu sector. BRT will take away their market share of public transport.
In other countries like Tanzania 🇹🇿 their Dar es Salaam BRT started working in 2016. Over in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 🇪🇹 their tram (light rail) system started operations in 2015.
Kenya's only hurdle in creating an efficient public transport system is selfish personal interests and corruption.
You couldn't put it any better. The biggest hindrance to good public infrastructure is those two words, selfish interests and corruption. The government has been unable to modernise Nairobi commuter train system on the existing Kenya Railway land simply because of selfish interests by matatu sector and corruption.
Why can't they; when contracting a road plan or put a BRT at the same time???
My question too. Even the Expressway would have made sense if included BRT on the lower road
We should simply go ahead with this vital project by forming a company with the matatu saccos owning 60percent and the government 40percent. The two shareholders should then outsource a management company to run it.
They're trying to allocate money so that they can pocket it
Nairobi needs a total overhaul in transport system... They need trams in the city too
I believe the dream is still alive. There was money allocated in the budget for the same.
"There was" waligula
@@kelvinngala4027 it was read in the budget for this financial year
Kenyans please understand this. It is MORE PROFITABLE for a contactor to start a project and abandon it midway, than to actually implement it fully and be paid for the work done. Many contractors are aware of this, and they simply take down-payment and abandon projects and go to court where big money is to be made with very little work....so please stop expecting a complete project, that will be very very rare.
It will be a tall order for the NAMATA to implement BRT given the level of indiscipline on our roads. Would it have been prudent to construct a new inner lane to cater for the BRT on Thika Superhighway?
This project will never see completion you can cash this at any bank, matatu industry is a big investment with a majority investors who are tough goons known by politicians will ensure it derails at all cost.
Well done-on the update
Just the video quality is top notch 🎉
Light commuter rail design in Nairobi and its environment this should be culminated by ministry of urban planning. This will sort the traffic menace in Nairobi and any other cities Rail service should be an alternative means
Mr .Murkomen there should be a special clause in the contract for breach of contract that before the project continues there should be 3/4 of the funds to complete the project and the project funds be available on an lien account , that's the only way to have the contractor and the client put to task to complete projects.
Your doing good job plz this story with brt don't stop continue following up
Was particularly the best landing of all that day, smooth for such a storm, congrats to her and the team👏🏾👏🏾
Very dead on arrival. If they're unable to implement it on the easiest road, Thika Road which is basically entails taking the most inner lane and creating bus stops, then how will they implement it on more complex roads like Mombasa Road?
Whether the matatu cartels like it or not, BRT is coming. With electric buses no less. The least the government can do is prioritise employment for those who work in that industry, but matatu days are numbered no matter. what.
I doubt if kibaki would still be in power...the plan would have failed ....
Kibaki did a good job
Yani express way ilijengwa na bado BRT haijaanza
Ruto just stopped the Kenya developing projects
Good work, Brother Enock Sikolia.
Yet wanatusumbua na pesa za housing
With all these punitive taxes it's still impossible
I do hope that one day the promise will come to life,
This project is on the verge of being forgotten and another question is if it works where are the benefits of the transport sector going to head
Do a documentary on why the lower road Uhuru highway isn't yet done why delayments n also do another hospital feature
Nice watch CS about 1.2 M on your wrist is a well deserved gift .
Its afake one
@@_Kipkorir wacha wivu
Say no to corruption Kenyans then your dreams will be realized.
Good job Sikolia
Instead of brt buses..I think we should ..come up with metro light rail within the city
Where's the space
@@TheGeneralEntertainment overpass bro even along Moi avenue it can happen just like major cities in USA
Kenya Kwanza helped defeat the NAMATA bill when it came to parliament due to the tanga tanga vs handshake politics.
We hope now that they won government, they will look into the matter now and revive the BRT dream
Which aspect of the Namata bill? I thought it was signed into law in 2019
Never. It was never passed.
@@KenyanHistorian Oh, I understand it has been under an executive order
Yes, bro... it has been operating under the executive order, so it couldn't be budgeted for....and many investors remained skeptical dealing with an institution that had no proper legal backing
@@patricknjogu2962 It failed. Tanga tanga and handshake politics defeated it. Assault on it, led by wakina Ichungwah
Thika road is not a highway it's just a road with multiple lanes.
where on earth do u find a highway where pedestrians and motorist are jostling for spaces?
Be a keen observant. Thika Road has pedestrian walkways and bike lanes... problem is our usage... you find motorbikes on pedestrian walkways or bike lanes...
And the definition of a highway is simple: a main road connecting two cities or towns....
What do you understand by the term Highway?
@@KenyanHistorian bro I love your patriotism on kenya. Am a Kenyan living in Texas USA compared to highways here Thika road is a joke.
@@lucksonomari4999continue living in the imperialist…and leave us with a unique definition of a highway…..many people have lived in different parts of the world which are even more developed technologically than your so called Texas and don’t spit on us Kenyans.
This government is surviving through selling of dead hopes
Curtsey opposition witchcraft
Good job
Matatu Cartels will not allow this, they profit more from the chaos
It will never happen. Anyone remember Kenya Bus Service? Jomo Kenyatta ruined Kenya Bus Services (then known as 'Stagecoach') shortly after Kenya gained independence. President Moi had the green buses 'DAF' a.k.a 'Nyayo Bus Service' which lasted but a few months before total collapse. Kenya can't manage anything beyond selling fish and tomatoes by the roadside. Even if this project materializes by some miracle, these cartels who are the very same people seen on this video will be waiting to rake in all the proceeds whatever little for themselves and the BRT will just be another failed project like many others which have come before it and after.
We are adding buses instead of bullet trains, we are creating jam in advance to mark my word's
There is no sound
Check out your sound system bro. The clip has proper sound
Who gonna ta brt?? Look on the high way you can see more private cars Every wanna drive private car.
Hekaya za abunuwasi hii kitu ilitupiliwa mbali na ikasahaulika walishakula pesa
What do we expect Mr. KShs. 8,000,000 wristwatch to deliver? 😅😅😂
Under Ruto's administration, it will never see the light of the day.
The man is busy talking about mkulima, fertilizer, taxes, mwanchi wa chini, mtu wa bodaboda, mama mboga, wale wengine; anyway, as usual, he will wake up during his last two years of his second term in office.
who made the thumbnai image, mahn you need better ...
worst guess work ever, Kibaki had done an A1 job but noooooo let’s ruin it 🚮
😂😂😂😂😂Kenya pesaaa iliendaa
Uhuru did something
RUTO and his henchmen can not build anything
